This /32 appears to come from 2001:0400::/23 which is allocated to ARIN.

You can query the ARIN database directly to see contact information for 
EP.NET. However, you can also find basic contact information (and the 
fact that the block is allocated) by querying the RIPE database using 
the -a flag:

$ whois -h whois.ripe.net -a 2001:478::/32

This gives you information from all the databases mirrored by 
whois.ripe.net.

Kind regards,
