Overview of This Information Collection
Title: Operation Stonegarden Daily Activity Report.
OMB Number: 1651-0NEW.
Form Number: N/A.
Current Actions: New collection of information.
Type of Review: New collection of information.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Abstract: Operation Stonegarden provides funding to enhance
cooperation and coordination among state, local, tribal, territorial,
and federal law enforcement agencies to jointly
[[Page 35709]]
enhance security along the United States land and water borders.
Participation in Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) requires accurate,
consistent, and timely reporting on monitoring program performance;
determining the level of integration and information sharing; and
developing best practices for future operations.
As a requirement, outlined in FEMA's Manual (FM) 207-22-0001 and
the Fiscal Year 2023 Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP), Daily
Activity Reports (DAR) are used to submit the ongoing results and
outputs from OPSG operations conducted. The information and statistics
submitted to CBP included in the DAR will be delineated by OPSG
subrecipients.
Subrecipients are approved county law enforcement agencies who
receive the OPSG funding from their state governor's office to conduct
OPSG duties. The DAR must be submitted to the U.S. Border Patrol (USBP)
sector or the participating agency's OPSG coordinator within 48 hours
of the conclusion of each OPSG shift. Subrecipients and Sectors are
responsible to ensure that DARs are submitted in the proper format and
in a timely manner. DARs are submitted using the CBP Stonegarden Data
Management System. Other local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement
agencies receiving funding through a subrecipient will submit DARs
within 48 hours. Border Patrol Sectors and OPSG subrecipients will
implement internal protocols to ensure operational data from
subrecipients and DARs are properly collected following the established
guidelines.
The information provided in the DAR includes but not limited to
officers' names, government vehicle identification including license
plates, and all information gathered while doing any vehicle stops.
This information would include the name, vehicle description and
license plate number of the person that was pulled over. Other
information in the DARs includes any narcotic seizures that happened
during their patrol while working Operation Stonegarden.
New Changes:
1. Transfer to CBP:
Historically, this collection of information was approved under
FEMA's PRA control number 1660-0125, however, this collection has now
been transferred to CBP ownership and in that process, CBP has reviewed
the form and has made modifications to reduce the time burden. Having
respondents submit their information directly to CBP through our
electronic system, instead of the previous paper submissions, will
reduce burden on the public and agency because it's easier to pre-fill
the information. A new control number will be assigned after OMB
approval.
Type of Information Collection: HSIN DAR Dashboard.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,095.
Estimated Number of Annual Responses per Respondent: 155.
Estimated Number of Total Annual Responses: 169,725.
Estimated Time per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 28,288.
Dated: July 25, 2025.

Branch Chief, Economic Impact Analysis Branch, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection.
