                              Introductory





    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 

in the performance of their duties under the Act. The general exemption 

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.
