numbering system if that system is
consistent with the SNS. The Secretary
has delegated his authority under 46
U.S.C. 12301 and 12302 to Commandant
of the U.S. Coast Guard. DHS Delegation
No. 0170.1. The regulations requiring
the numbering of undocumented vessels
are in 33 CFR part 173, and regulations
establishing the SNS for States to
voluntarily carry out this function are
contained in part 174.
In States that do not have an approved
system, the Federal Government (U.S.
Coast Guard) must administer the vessel
numbering system. Currently, all 56
States and Territories have approved
numbering systems. The approximate
number of undocumented vessels
registered by the States in 2014 was
nearly 12 million.
The SNS collects information on
undocumented vessels and vessel
owners. States submit reports annually
to the Coast Guard on the number, size,
construction, etc., of vessels they have
numbered. That information is used by
the Coast Guard in (1) publication of an
annual ‘‘Boating Statistics’’ report
required by 46 U.S.C. 6102(b), and (2)
for allocation of Federal funds to assist
States in carrying out the Recreational
Boating Safety (RBS) Program
established by 46 U.S.C. chapter 131.
On a daily basis or as warranted,
Federal, State, and local law
enforcement personnel use SNS
information from the States’ numbering
system for enforcement of boating laws
or theft and fraud investigations. In
addition, when encountering a vessel
suspected of illegal activity, information
from the SNS increases officer safety by
assisting boarding officers in
determining how best to approach a
vessel. Since, the September 11, 2001
terrorist attacks on the United States,
the need has increased for identification
of undocumented vessels and their
owners for port security and other
missions to safeguard the homeland,
although the statutory requirement for
numbering of vessels dates back to 1918.
Forms: None.
Respondents: Owners of all
undocumented vessels propelled by
machinery are required by Federal law
to apply for a number from the issuing
authority of the State in which the
vessel is to be principally operated. In
addition, States may require other
vessels, such as sailboats or even canoes
and kayaks, to be numbered. ‘‘Owners’’
may include individuals or households,
non-profit organizations, and small
businesses (e.g., liveries that offer
recreational vessels for rental by the
public) or other for-profit organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice informs the public that HUD is
seeking approval from OMB for the
information collection described in
Section A.
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Evaluation of the Jobs Plus Pilot
Program.
OMB Approval Number: N/A.
Type of Request: New.
Form Number: N/A.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: HUD’s
2014 Appropriations included funding
to support the implementation of the
Jobs Plus Pilot Program, a place-based
program designed to increase work and
earnings among public housing
residents. Nine public housing agencies
(PHAs) were awarded grant funds in
spring 2015, and will implement the
Jobs Plus program over a period of four
years. The program as designed includes
three core components: 1) Employmentrelated services, 2) financial
incentives—the Jobs Plus Earned
Income Disregard (JPEID), and 3)
community supports for work. The Jobs
Plus program seeks to replicate the
model tested under the Jobs Plus
Demonstration back in the 1990s and
early 2000, which led to sustained
growth in earned income among
residents at sites that fully implemented
the program. This current generation of
the Jobs Plus program, however, will
differ from the Jobs Plus demonstration
in some important ways—first, the
current iteration of the program will
benefit from a more robust financial
incentive, in the form of an earned
income disregard designed specifically
for the Jobs Plus program, and second,
the program will be implemented
almost twenty years after the initial
demonstration, in a very different
employment market. Because of these
important variations, HUD is supporting
an evaluation of the Jobs Plus Pilot
program, with the goal of documenting
the programs established by the Jobs
Plus Pilot Program grantees and laying
the groundwork for a future outcomes
evaluation that will seek to understand
the impact of the program, both on the
program participants, as well as the
entire target development. Specific
research objectives include, but are not
