You don't need a new ASN. Anyone with an ASN can announce 44/8 space in part or full.
My understanding of the routing is that people who want a 44net delegation need to meet ARIN/RIPE standards which does mean multihoming and a AS#. There is probably a way to delegate to the ISP level where you'd then setup private BGP with your ISP. But as a whole, it would seem that it would initially be outside the realm of many armchair network operators with home based networks. Certainly you couldn't call up Comcast with your home cable modem and say that you want to add a block of 44/8's to your account. I think their AUP might come into the conversation. :-)
Two things here…
The 44/8 network is pre-ICANN (Postel).
Currently in order to get portable address space, you have to demonstrate you are multi-homed and you have an ASN.
The organization "Amateur Radio Digital Communications" (see whois.arin.net) already has 44/8. Anyone that has an ASN can announce this space in full or part as along as this is blessed by the "owner". In fact, I announce /24s and /16 for folks that got their address space also from Jon Postel (pre-ICANN).
