                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
         CHAPTER V--WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
 
PART 779_THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT AS APPLIED TO RETAILERS OF GOODS OR 
SERVICES--Table of Contents
 
                            Subpart A_General
 
Sec. 779.16  State.

    As used in the Act, State means ``any State of the United States or 
the District of Columbia or any Territory or possession of the United 
States'' (Act, section 3(c)). The application of this definition in 
determining questions of coverage under the Act's definition of 
``commerce'' and ``produced'' (see Sec. Sec. 779.12, 779.13) is 
discussed in the interpretative bulletin on general coverage, part 776 
of this chapter. This definition is also important in determining 
whether goods ``for resale'' purchased or received by an enterprise move 
or have moved across State lines within the meaning of former section 
3(s)(1) of the Act (prior to the 1966 amendments) and whether sales of 
goods or services are ``made within the State'' within the meaning of 
the retail or service establishment exemption in section 13(a)(2), as 
discussed in subpart D of this part.
