Sec. 784.18  Commerce activities of employees.

    The Fair Labor Standards Act has applied since 1938 to all 
employees, not specifically exempted, who are engaged (a) in interstate 
or foreign commerce or (b) in the production of goods for such commerce, 
which is defined to include any closely related process or occupation 
directly essential to such production (29 U.S.C. 206(a), 207(a); and see 
Sec. Sec. 784.12 to 784.15 for definitions governing the scope of this 
coverage). In general, employees of businesses concerned with fisheries 
and with operations on seafood and other aquatic products are engaged in 
interstate or foreign commerce, or in the production of goods for such 
commerce, as defined in the Act, and are subject to the Act's provisions 
except as otherwise provided in sections 13(a)(5) and 13(b)(4) or other 
express exemptions. A detailed discussion of the activities in commerce 
or in the production of goods for commerce which will bring an employee 
under the Act is contained in part 776 of this chapter, dealing with 
general coverage.
