The Vessel Documentation Office supplied a HIN for Bandersnatch. I'm not sure if they are still part of the USCG or semi-independent like the US Postal Service.
My neighbor tried to get a HIN from various Florida state agencies after state cops demanded he do so, starting with the agency the cops directed him to, but he just got the run-around with each agency stating it wasn't their responsibility and passing him off to another state agency and so forth around in a circle. The cops finally decided that he really didn't need a HIN and sent him a letter of apology for hassling him.
