<div>The entirety of <a href="https://www.arin.net/participate/policy/nrpm/#5-as-numbers">Section 5 of ARIN’s Number Resource Policy Manual (NRPM) </a>consists of the following policy text - </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;">
<div>
<div><i>5. <u>AS Numbers</u></i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><i>Any organization may be issued a single Autonomous System Number (ASN) upon request. Organizations that have space issued under Multiple Discrete Networks policy may be issued one ASN per discrete network upon request.</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div><i>Additional ASN requests should include proof of the requestor’s need for a unique routing policy, or other technical justification for the need for more than one ASN.</i></div>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I.e., the policy for AS number issuance in the ARIN region is quite straightforward at present.</div>
