I have never provided the names of end users..  How the address space would
be utilized?  Definitely..  But not the names of end users...

There is not a new policy added on to prevent hoarding. What is required

has been required for several years. Utilization information and proper
justification.

If you are seeking an ISP allocation, then, reassignment (customer)
information is
in fact part of that utilization information.

Anyone have any tips for getting IPs from ARIN? For an end-user
allocation
they are requesting that we provide customer names for existing
allocations,
which is information that will take a while to obtain. They are
insisting
that this is standard process and something that everyone does when
requesting IPs.  Has anyone actually had to do this?

Indeed. It's worked this way for a long time.

When starting a new organization, there's a bit of a chicken and egg
problem with IP space. If anyone could get IP space just for asking
for it, it would have been consumed too quickly. So, organizations
must first get some space assigned to them from an upstream provider
and begin using it.
At some point the current usage and growth rate of the assigned space
will justify a direct allocation.

Then, you can renumber into your new space and be totally independent.
