In paragraph 2 the following is stated: "ARIN's policy requires ISPs to maintain IN-ADDR for /16 or larger allocations. For smaller allocations, ARIN can provide IN-ADDR for /24 and shorter prefixes."
The ARIN policy statement is: "All ISPs receiving a /16 or larger block of space (>= 256 /24s) from ARIN will be responsible for maintaining all IN-ADDR.ARPA domain records for their respective customers. For blocks smaller than /16, ARIN can maintain IN-ADDRs through the use of the SWIP template for reassignments of /24 and shorter prefixes." The policy does not require in-addr service. What it means is that if in-addr service is desired then the responsibility for allocations of /16 or shorter prefixes is that of the ISP receiving the allocation. If the prefix is longer than a /16 and shorter than a /24, then ARIN will provide the service if desired.
