I still don't grok the dos and don'ts of NSLs and canaries, but that document establishes the origin of the range 0–249, which is expressly permitted. See also: https://canarywatch.org/faq.html
I suspect they would not be using the 0–249 band if they were not gagged by a previous order. My uninformed interpretation is that they have received an NSL or FISA order, but not necessarily in 2015. So the 2015 number might be zero after all.
Maybe someone more informed could confirm or debunk this interpretation.
