 This section covers compliance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 ( URA ) . This act provides for uniform and equitable treatment of persons displaced by a federal programs from their homes , businesses , or farms , including assuring just compensation and assisting in relocation . For example , if the construction of a highway under a federal program requires the expropriation of homes , the expropriation must be made by either providing fair compensation for that property or providing assistance for , or reimbursement of , relocation expenses incurred by the affected person . The Compliance Supplement suggests verifying that the property acquired is appraised by qualified independent appraisers , the appraisals are examined by a review appraiser to assure acceptability , and that after acceptance , the review appraiser certifies the recommended or approved value of the property for just compensation to the owner .
