49 U.S.C. 10903(c)(1) authorizes the Board, at its discretion, to provide for designation of lines as “potentially subject to abandonment” under standards which vary by region of the United States, by railroad, or by group of railroads. The Board expressly reserves the right to adopt such varying standards in the future.
