PART 500_MIGRANT AND SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKER PROTECTION
--Table of Contents
 
   Subpart D_Motor Vehicle Safety and Insurance for Transportation of 
 
Sec. 500.103  Activities not subject to vehicle safety standards.

    (a) Agricultural machinery and equipment excluded. Vehicle safety 
standards or insurance requirements issued under the Act and these 
regulations do not apply to the transportation of any seasonal or 
migrant agricultural worker on a tractor, combine, harvester, picker, 
other similar machinery and equipment while such worker is actually 
engaged in the planting, cultivating, or harvesting of any agricultural 
commodity or the care of livestock or poultry. This exclusion applies 
only to workers carrying out these activities on such machinery and 
equipment or being engaged in transportation incidental thereto. The 
exclusion does not include the use of such machinery for the 
transportation of any worker under any other circumstances.
    (b) Exclusion for immediate family transporting family members. The 
standards of this subpart do not apply to an individual migrant or 
seasonal agricultural worker when the only other occupants of that 
individual's vehicle consist of his immediate family members as defined 
in Sec. 500.20(o).
    (c) Carpooling. Vehicle safety standards or insurance requirements 
of the Act and these regulations do not apply to carpooling arrangements 
made by the workers themselves, using one of the workers' own vehicles 
and not specifically directed or requested by an agricultural employer 
or agricultural association. Carpooling, however, does not include any 
transportation arrangement in which a farm labor contractor 
participates.
