Section 13(a)(13) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as
amended, provides an exemption from the minimum wage and overtime
requirements of the Act, as follows:
The provisions of sections 6 and 7 shall not apply with respect to *
* * any employee employed in planting or tending trees, cruising,
surveying, or felling timber, or in preparing or transporting logs or
other forestry products to the mill, processing plant, railroad, or
other transportation terminal, if the number of employees employed by
his employer in such forestry or lumbering operations does not exceed
eight.
This exemption, formerly section 13(a)(15) of the Act, was amended by
the Fair Labor Standards Amendments
of 1966 (80 Stat. 830) to change the number of employees limitation from
12 to eight, and to redesignate it as section 13(a)(13).
