agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Extension, Without Change, of a 

Currently Approved Collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Petition for CNMI-Only Nonimmigrant 

Transition Worker; Semiannual Report 

for CW–1 Employers. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: I–129CW; I– 

129CWR; USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Business or other forprofit. USCIS uses the data collected on 

Form I–129CW to determine eligibility 

for the requested immigration benefits. 

An employer uses Form I–129CW to 

petition USCIS for an alien to 

temporarily enter as a nonimmigrant 

into the CNMI to perform services or 

labor as a CW–1 worker. An employer 

also uses Form I–129CW to request an 

extension of stay or change of status on 

behalf of the alien worker. The Form I– 

129CW serves the purpose of 

standardizing requests for these benefits 

and ensuring that the basic information 

required to determine eligibility is 

provided by the petitioners. 

Form I–129CWR, Semiannual Report 

for CW–1 Employers, is used by 

employers to comply with the reporting 

requirements imposed by the Workforce 

Act. Form I–129CWR captures data 

USCIS requires to help verify the 

continuing employment and payment of 

the CW–1 worker. DHS may provide 

such semiannual reports to other federal 

partners, including the US. Department 

of Labor (DOL) for investigative or other 

use as DOL may deem appropriate. 

Congress expressly provided for these 

semiannual reports to be shared with 

DOL. 48 U.S.C. 1806(d)(3)(D)(ii). 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection Form I–129CW is 5,975 and 

the estimated hour burden per response 

is 3.5 hours; the estimated total number 

of respondents for the information 

collection Form I–129CWR is 5,975 and 

the estimated hour burden per response 

is 2.5 hours. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: The total estimated annual 

hour burden associated with this 

collection is 35,851 hours. 

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: The estimated total annual 

cost burden associated with this 

collection of information is $3,809,063.
