Um... you DO tell your provider the AS numbers of your customers... in the BGP route announcement you send them. It's not a question of rights or requirements. You already do it. Because that's how the technology works. As Chris noted, telling your provider out-of-band before sending the same information via BGP is also a very good idea which enhances the security of the whole doggone Internet.
