| | 29CFR790.790.17 - ``Administrative regulation, order, ruling, approval, or interpretation.'' |
 | | (a) Administrative regulations, orders, rulings, approvals, and interpretations are all grouped together in sections 9 and 10, with no distinction being made in regard to their function under the ``good faith'' defense. |
 | | (b) The terms ``regulation'' and ``order'' are variously used to connote the great variety of authoritative rules issued pursuant to statute by an administrative agency, which have the binding effect of law, unless set aside upon judicial review as arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law. |
 | | A failure to act or a failure to reply to an inquiry on the part of an administrative agency is not a ``regulation, order, ruling, approval, or interpretation'' within the meaning of sections 9 and 10. |
