It would apply to any size assignment or allocation made by ARIN,  
but, that's
only one possible way to be in compliance.  There are situations  
(critical
infrastructure, for example) where a /24 could remain justified even  
with
far  less than 50% utilization.  This policy doesn't attempt to  
address all
the complexities of ARIN policy.  It merely attempts to provide a  
mechanism
for allowing ARIN to better ensure conformance with that policy while
trying to provide sufficient safeguards against abuse by ARIN in that
process.
