Some details on this: 

The RIPE NCC offers an RPKI Validator toolset which includes the Trust Anchors for all the RIR repositories except the 
one for ARIN. On the download page, there is this statement: "By setting up the RIPE NCC RPKI Validator, you confirm 
that you have read, understood and agree to the <RIPE NCC Certification Repository Terms and Conditions>."

Download page: https://www.ripe.net/certification/tools-and-resources

There are instructions to get the ARIN TAL in the readme and UI of the RPKI Validator:
