                              Introductory


    Subpart A of this part 780, this subpart B and subparts C, D, and E 
of this part together constitute the official interpretative bulletin of 
the Department of Labor with respect to the meaning and application of 
sections 3(f), 13(a)(6), and 13(b)(12) of the Fair Labor Standards Act 
of 1938, as amended. Section 3(f) defines ``agriculture'' as the term is 
used in the Act. Section 13(a)(6) provides exemption from the minimum 
wage and overtime pay provisions of the Act for certain employees 
employed in ``agriculture,'' as so defined. Section 13(b)(12) provides 
an overtime exemption for any employee employed in agriculture. As 
appears more fully in subpart A of this part 780, interpretations in 
this bulletin with respect to the provisions of the Act discussed are 
official interpretations upon which reliance may be placed and which 
will guide the Secretary of Labor and the Administrator in the 
performance of their duties under the Act.
