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).

Part of the increase in total estimated annual burden is the result of an increase in the total number of respondents based on updated historical receipt data and the resulting adjustment in agency estimates. The increase in the total annual burden hours was also as a result of increasing the time burden from 40 hours to 51 for the initial Form I-924 applications, from 40 hours to 51 for the amendment Form I-924 application, and from 3 hours to 14 for the Form I-924A due to a better estimation of the time required to complete the form and gather all documentation. This increase in cost burden is due to an increase in the estimated number of respondents per year.
