I was asked recently about the number of issued and not presently 
advertised ASN's in the ARIN region, and thought it best to reply
publicly so everyone has the same information.  

ARIN does not directly monitor ASN usage, but the esteemed 
Geoff Huston does at <http://www.potaroo.net/tools/asn32/>

   There are 24406 16-bit ASN's assigned to the ARIN region, with 
   1099 presently in the regional free pool, 8259 unadvertised in 
   BGP, and 15048 advertised in BGP.
