To that end, the “IPv6 fee waiver” text on the fee schedule has been expanded to more fully
explain its operation.      From <https://www.arin.net/resources/fees/fee_schedule/> –

*There is a temporary IPv6 fee waiver for organizations in the 3X-Small service category allowing for more IPv6 
resources than normal while still remaining in the 3X-Small service category and paying only the 3X-Small service 
category fee. A 3X-Small organization may receive registry services for up to a /36 of total IPv6 space and remain in 
the 3X-Small service category rather than being charged the 2X-Small service category fee. This waiver will expire 31 
December 2026.

The terminology “fee waiver” is acknowledged as less than ideal, but has been retained for
consistency as there’s extensive historical references to it in this manner – it is hoped that
the more extensive explanation will suffice to clarify any confusion in how it is actually handled.
