    Subpart A of this part 780 and this subpart J together constitute 
the official interpretative bulletin of the Department of Labor with 
respect to the meaning and application of section 13(b)(16) of the Fair 
Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended. This section provides exemption 
from the overtime pay provisions of the Act for employees engaging in 
specified transportation activities when fruits and vegetables are 
harvested. As appears more fully in subpart A of this part, 
interpretations in this bulletin with respect to the provisions of the 
Act discussed are official interpretations upon which reliance may be 
placed and which will guide the Secretary of Labor and the Administrator

provided in sections 13(a)(6) and 13(b)(12) of the Act for employees 
employed in agriculture, are not discussed in this subpart except in 
their relation to section 13(b)(16). The meaning and application of 
these exemptions are fully considered in subparts D and E, respectively, 
of this part 780.
