    This part 778 constitutes the official interpretation of the 
Department of Labor with respect to the meaning and application of the 
maximum hours and overtime pay requirements contained in section 7 of 
the Act. It is the purpose of this bulletin to make available in one 
place the interpretations of these provisions which will guide the 
Secretary of Labor and the Administrator in the performance of their 
duties under the Act unless and until they are otherwise directed by 
authoritative decisions of the courts or conclude, upon reexamination of 
an interpretation, that it is incorrect. These official interpretations 
are issued by the Administrator on the advice of the Solicitor of Labor, 
as authorized by the Secretary (Reorg. Pl. 6 of 1950, 64 Stat.
