Sec. 779.10  Interpretations made, continued, and superseded by this part.

rulings and interpretations and prior enforcement policies which are not 
inconsistent with the interpretations in this part or with the Fair 
Labor Standards Act as amended by the Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 
1961 are continued in effect; all other opinions, rulings, 
interpretations, and enforcement policies on the subjects discussed in 
the interpretations in this part are rescinded and withdrawn. The 
interpretations in this part provide statements of general principles 
applicable to the subjects discussed and illustrations of the 
application of these principles to situations that frequently arise. 
They do not and cannot refer specifically to every problem which may be 
met by retailers in the application of the Act. The omission to discuss 
a particular problem in this part or in interpretations supplementing it 
should not be taken to indicate the adoption of any position by the 
Secretary of Labor or the Administrator with respect to such problem or 
to constitute an administrative interpretation or practice or 
enforcement policy. Questions on matters not fully covered by this part 
may be addressed to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, 
U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210, or to any Regional or 
District Office of the Division.
