This factor may be a single factor or an average of several factors. (3) The nonoperating tangible and nonoperating intangible property of public service corporations whose operating property is valued according to either subsection (1) or (2) shall be valued by the Department of Revenue in the same manner and according to the same standards as if this property were valued by the property valuation administrator in the county where the property has a taxable situs.
