I also did a pest inspection and on the state form, I reported what I seen and where - as required from the state. My question is, do I recommend treatment when there is a [url]good chance[/url] the infested area will be removed? Interested in how you would report this.

Kevin,
It needs to be treated anyway, unless the hole thing if being replaced, and I don't mean just a couple of 'whole' truss webs, I mean 'the whole thing'. The infestation could be more widespread than you found.
