   Subpart G--General Statements of Interpretation of the Child Labor 
     Provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as Amended
 
Sec. 570.102  General scope of statutory provisions.

    The most important of the child labor provisions are contained in 
sections 12(a), 12(c), and 3(l) of the Act. Section 12(a) provides that 
no producer, manufacturer, or dealer shall ship or deliver for shipment 
in interstate or foreign commerce any goods produced in an establishment 
in or about which oppressive child labor was employed within 30 days 
before removal of the goods. The full text of this subsection is set 
forth in Sec. 570.104 and its terms are discussed in Secs. 570.105 to 
570.111, inclusive. Section 12(c) prohibits any employer from employing 
oppressive child labor in interstate or foreign commerce or in the 
production of goods for such commerce. The text and discussion of this 
provision appear in Secs. 570.112 and 570.113. Section 3(l) of the Act, 
which defines the term ``oppressive child labor,'' is set forth in 
Sec. 570.117 and its provisions are discussed in Secs. 570.118 to 
570.121, inclusive. It will further be noted that the Act provides 
various specific exemptions from the foregoing provisions which are set 
forth and discussed in Secs. 570.122 to 570.126, inclusive.
