The data collected on Form I-924 and Form I-924A is used by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to determine eligibility for an entity to be designated as a regional center, under the Immigrant Investor Pilot Program created by section 610 of Public Law 102-395 (October 6, 1992). A regional center is defined as any economic unit, public or private, engaged in the promotion of economic growth, improved regional productivity, job creation, and increased domestic capital investment. Alien entrepreneurs ("EB-5 alien investors") admitted to the United States under section 203(b)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) may meet the job creation requirements under INA section 203(b)(5)(A)(ii) through the creation of indirect jobs through capital investments made in commercial enterprises that are affiliated with regional centers that are designated for participation in the pilot program. The requirements for obtaining and terminating the regional center designation for participation in the pilot program are in 8 CFR 204.6(m)(3).

There has been an increase of 2,872 in the total annual burden hours previously reported for this information collection. The increase is a result of updating the time burden calculation for Forms I-924 and I-924 to account for compliance review and site visit activities. For compliance review, the time burden estimate for the 40 I-924/924A respondents who complete the review is 960. The time burden estaimte for the 40 I-924/924A respondents who are evaluated for the site visit is 640. This results in a 1,600 hour increase. Additionally, the estimated number of Form I-924 respondents has increased from 20,400 to 21,420. This results in an increase of 1,020 estimated burden hours. The estimated number of Form I-924A respondents has increased from 12,348 to 12,600. This results in an increase of 252 burden hours. This results in the current report of 2,872 estimated burden hours.
