29 C.F.R. § 570.122 General.
Title 29 - Labor
Specific exemptions from the child labor requirements of the Act are provided for: (a) Employment of children in agriculture outside of school hours for the school district where they live while so employed; (b) Employment of employees engaged in the delivery of newspapers to the consumer; (c) Employment of children as actors or performers in motion pictures or in theatrical, radio, or television productions; and (d) Employment by a parent or a person standing in a parent's place of his own child or a child in his custody under the age of sixteen years in any occupation other than the following: (1) Manufacturing, (2) Mining, (3) An occupation found by the Secretary to be particularly hazardous for the employment of children between the ages of sixteen and eighteen years or detrimental to their health or well-being. In his interpretations of these provisions, the Secretary will be guided by the principle that such exemptions should be narrowly construed and their application limited to those employees who are plainly and unmistakably within their terms. Thus, the fact that a child's occupation involves the performance of work which is considered exempt from the child labor provisions will not relieve his employer from the requirements of section 12(c) or the producer, manufacturer, or dealer from the requirements of section 12(a) if, during the course of his employment, the child spends any part of his time doing work which is covered but not so exempt.
