Last time I looked, ARIN would assign one to a multihomed enterprise,
but would strongly discourage it, reminding people they don't
guarantee anyone will advertise it.

For providers, /20 remains the smallest that can directly be
allocated by the registries.

As far as being advertised, the rules vary. They vary among carriers
on whether or not you are their direct customer, and if your address
is from 192/8 (the "Swamp").
