We are happy to administer whatever policy the community develops, but try to avoid creating additional administrative steps in implementation beyond those clearly called for in policy. We do take steps to check reported utilization, but presently do not systemically record the upstream block and likely date of return to enable such auditing. If this is considered important, then some guidance (similar to NRPM 4.6.4 "Timeframe for return") would be quite helpful. Thanks!
