Aevamo’s reading
8 CFR 212.1 is the regulation that imposes the visa and documentary requirement on arriving nonimmigrant aliens (chapeau) and that creates and specifies the Visa Waiver Program exemption (i), the Guam-CNMI Visa Waiver Program (paragraph (q)) and the CNMI EVS-TAP (paragraph (r)); it implements INA 212 and Pub. L. 110-229 and is the operative instrument for who may enter Guam and the CNMI without a visa.
The DHS page names the countries currently designated for the VWP and states the program allows stays of up to 90 days without a visa and requires an approved ESTA before travel, so each named national must obtain an ESTA and may stay up to 90 days.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
The rule is one instrument covering 2 places, so this answer is the same for Northern Mariana Islands .
