Do the Name/Token Pair callable services need R13 to point to save area?

I'm thinking of using a Name/Token pair to keep the address of "my" storage area, and X'00' to mean I first need to obtain the storage. This is in RENT code. When I get control, R13 points to a save area, which my code will use, but I do not yet have storage for another save area before
