I believe this is likely to use the NSA's definition of a "US Person"

According to the National Security Agency web site, Federal law and executive order define a United States person as any of the following:

a citizen of the United States

an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence

an unincorporated association with a substantial number of members who are citizens of the U.S. or are aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence

a corporation that is incorporated in the U.S.[1]
