Sec. 785.2  Decisions on interpretations; use of interpretations.

    The ultimate decisions on interpretations of the act are made by the 
courts. The Administrator must determine in the first instance the 
positions he will take in the enforcement of the Act. The regulations in 
this part seek to inform the public of such positions. It should thus 
provide a ``practical guide for employers and employees as to how the 
office representing the public interest in its enforcement will seek to 
apply it.'' (Skidmore v. Swift, 323 U.S. 134, 138 (1944).)
