    The interpretations of the law contained in this part are official 
interpretations of the Department of Labor with respect to the

re-examination of an interpretation, that it is incorrect. The 
interpretations in this part provide statements of general principles 
applicable to the subjects discussed and illustrations of the 
application of these principles to situations that frequently arise. 
They do not and cannot refer specifically to every problem which may be 
met in the consideration of the exemption discussed. The omission to 
discuss a particular problem in this part or in interpretations 
supplementing it should not be taken to indicate the adoption of any 
position by the Secretary of Labor or the Administrator with respect to 
such problem or to constitute an administrative interpretation or 
practice or enforcement policy. Questions on matters not fully covered 
by this part may be addressed to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour 
Division, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, DC 20210 or to any 
Regional or Area Office of the Division.
