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.
