Gary,ARIN doesn't allocate IPv6 addresses on a per-address basis. ARIN charges fees for address block assignments using a cost recovery model, and attempts to set those fees approximately proportional to the costs of allocating, assigning, and maintaining registration for address blocks.
It costs ARIN about the same (up front) to allocate a /32 as it does to assign a /48. On an ongoing basis, it costs more to maintain registry integrity (keep whois up to date) on a /32 allocation than it does for a /48 assignment. So the annual fee for a /48 assignment is $100/yr, whereas the annual fee for a /32 allocation is the same as the initial allocation fee.
If you are not an ARIN member, but would like to participate in the members' discussion of ARIN's fee structure, the semi-annual member's meeting is open to the public. Remote participation is available free of charge:
