It's part of the ARIN transfer process, https://www.arin.net/policy/nrpm.htm=
l#eight specific 8.3, "IPv4 numbers resources and ASNs may be transferred ac=
cording to the following conditions."
ARIN has a Specified Transfer Listing Service, https://www.arin.net/resource=
s/transfer_listing/index.html so you could check there.
I didn't see any ASNs listed, so you may need to call a broker, such as one l=
isted under https://www.arin.net/resources/transfer_listing/facilitator_list=
.html
A list of ASNs that have been transferred policy can be found at https://www=
.arin.net/public/transferLog.xhtml#NRPM-8.3ASNs
