scope as explained in Sec. Sec. 783.24, 783.25, and 783.27, with regard 
to the principles set forth in Sec. 783.20 and the legislative history 
and judicial construction outlined in Sec. Sec. 783.28 through 783.30. 
Whether a particular employee is exempt depends on what he does, as 
explained in Sec. Sec. 783.31 through 783.37. Whether he is exempt from 
the overtime pay provisions only or from minimum wages as well depends 
on whether his employment is or is not on an American vessel, which is 
determined as indicated in Sec. Sec. 783.38 through 783.42. In 
addition, sections 13(a)(14) and 13(b)(6), like other exemptions in the 
Act, apply on a workweek basis as mentioned in Sec. 783.43 and 
explained in Sec. Sec. 783.49 and 783.50.
