next in case 06-593, Long Island Care at Home versus Coke. Mr. Farr. ORAL ARGUMENT OF H. BARTOW FARR ON BEHALF OF THE PETITIONERS MR. FARR: please the Court: In the 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act, Congress made one thing very clear, that it wanted the Department of Labor to define the boundaries and fill in the details of the companionship services exemption. And I think that has two important Mr. Chief Justice, and may it
implications for this case. First of all, when the Department has filled in the details, after notice and comment rulemaking, its regulations should receive Chevron deference as long as they are permissible implementation of the statute. Second, and particularly specific to this case, if there are ambiguities in the regulations, or as we have here, an apparent facial inconsistency, the court should accept the Secretary's resolution of that ambiguity provided that it is a reasonable one. 3
here we submit it's not only a reasonable one, it is by far the most sensible one. Now I'd actually like to turn, if I may, to the second issue first, because I think that's the source of a lot of the concern in this case. Plainly the two regulations, section 10 -552.109(a), which is the regulation directly at issue before this Court, and 552.3, which is the regulation relied on heavily by the Second Circuit to strike down the present regulation, have some inconsistency between them. But it is also plain that the Department could not have intended to say at one and the same time that the only employers entitled use the exemption were homeowners and then say in another section promulgated at the same time that also third-party employers are entitled to the exemption. So the question is, how does
one resolve this apparent inconsistency? And the Secretary says, well, the only regulation that we promulgated that, in fact, deals specifically with the issue of third-party employment is 552.109(a), which is in fact headed Third-Party Employment. And that section 552.3, while containing some language that might be read to address that issue, 4
in fact deals with several other topics.
it deals with the topic of what kinds of jobs are involved in domestic service, maids, chauffeurs, footmen, et cetera; where those have to be performed, in a private home; and in fact, somewhat more than that, in the private home of the person receiving the services. So it's not enough, for example, for somebody to conduct a service like laundry or baby sitting in his or her own house, it has to be in the house of the person receiving the services. JUSTICE GINSBURG: I thought the words were
home of the person who employs, not who receives the services but who employs. MR. FARR: Justice Ginsburg. Oh, that's correct,
The literal language is not What I'm talking about
specifically what I was saying.
is the Secretary's attempt to resolve what is an apparent inconsistency between the literal language in 552.3 and the literal language of section 552.109(a). JUSTICE GINSBURG: By -- reading out the
words "of the person who employs" her? MR. FARR: Well, essentially reading them to
say they, they were not intended to address directly the subject of third party employment which is the subject addressed in 109(a). And I think if one is -- even 5
leaving aside the question of deference to the Secretary for a moment, Justice Ginsburg, if one is simply talking about making a fair resolution of these conflicting provisions from the ground up, it seems to me the first thing that one would do is apply the canon that the specific provision controls the general. And if one looks at the two provisions, section 109(a) is a provision that deals with one thing and one thing only: that is third party employment.
And it says explicitly and straight out that persons who are employed by third-party employers are -or third-party employers who employ persons performing domestic services are entitled to the exemption. JUSTICE KENNEDY: I thought it also
addressed, unlike the more general regulation, just people who have companionship services. So if you have
a maid or a cook or a footman, who doesn't provide companionship, then 109 is inapplicable. MR. FARR: That would be true. Now that
would be inapplicable -JUSTICE SCALIA: even know what a footman is. (Laughter.) JUSTICE SCALIA: MR. FARR: What is a footman? What's a footman? I don't
I think that may be beyond my 6
expertise, Justice Scalia. The -- of course that doesn't address anything beyond companionship services, of course, because there is not an exemption beyond that. And In
that's one of the interesting things about 552.3.
addition to generally dealing with this question of what kind of jobs are domestic service, it is, in fact, going well beyond anything that is necessary to a discussion of the exemption for companionship services, because jobs like chauffeurs, and maids, and all of that are not subject to the exemption. So it really looking at what
552.3 is doing despite the couple of words that -- at the beginning of it, is giving a general definition of what constitutes domestic employment, what constitutes domestic services for purposes not only of the exemption but, in fact, really for the purposes of coverage as well. And the Department has taken that position. It says this is, in fact, the only definition of domestic service that we have in the regulations, and it is not just intended to be limited to the particular situation of the exemption. It applies more broadly
than that to coverage as well. So I think in all those senses, Justice Kennedy, 109 is a very specific provision, 552.3 7
deals with a number of other subjects. Now, one other thing on the statutory interpretation part is that the reading of 552.3 that Respondent offers also leads to the problem that essentially sets up a tension with another one of the regulations which is 552.101(a). 552.101(a) which I'm
sorry -- I don't have the right page number here -- it is on page 77a of the appendix to the petition -- has, carries over the language from 552.3 about in the home of the employer that Justice Ginsburg referred to. then it also says that this includes people who are commonly referred to as private household workers. And the one thing we know from the Department of Labor submissions to Congress in 1974 and also from what the Department has said before this Court is that that term at the time was defined by the Department and known by Congress to constitute more than just employees employed by the homeowner. There was a But
special second category for people who worked in the home of the homeowner at the homeowner's request but were employed by a third party agency. Now somewhere underlying all of this question, I think, is statutory interpretation and indeed all of Respondent's arguments against deference to the Department is a basic underlying premise, which 8
is that Congress really would not have wanted, even if it didn't say so, for the exemption to apply to employees who work for third parties. And I would just like to suggest that there really is no basis for thinking that Congress would have wanted that. First of all, third participate employers such as private agencies provide services for the particular group of people which Congress was trying to assist with this exemption. People who by reason of age
or disability are unable to care for themselves. Agencies acting as the employers specifically can do the hiring, they can do the vetting and the screening, the background screening for employees. They can provide
necessary paperwork, filing Social Security documents and things like that. So, in fact, for Congress to have some sort of bias against covered enterprises seems a little bit unusual. JUSTICE SCALIA: Mr. Farr, I'm not sure I

have the language about the private home of the employer. JUSTICE SCALIA: MR. FARR: That's right.
However, the -- the preceding

Does that report say it? MR. FARR: What? The report uses the term

Now, the Department of Labor when it was reporting to Congress, as Congress has required it to do, the Department of Labor used the term private households workers, specifically defined in there by the Department, to say this means not just employees employed by the homeowner but also people who are employed by third parties. So I think it is a fair assumption that when the Senate report was using that phrase, it was using it in the same manner that the Department of Labor reports have. And, in fact, at one point in the -- moving That is what is clear
further backward in the legislative history, Senator Dominick actually quoted that language, the definition from the Department of Labor, on the Senate floor during the debates. JUSTICE GINSBURG: I thought that the
Department of Labor's first take on this was that the exemption did not apply to third-party employers. That
was the original Department of Labor position, wasn't it? 11
There was a, an opinion letter from the
Department in November of 1975 -- this is an opinion letter that's cited at page 21 of the Solicitor General's brief -- which specifically stated that the exemption applied whether the employee was an employee of the homeowner or of a public or private -JUSTICE GINSBURG: I'm referring to the
notice and comment rulemaking in which you place great stock. I thought the original notice and comment
rulemaking said the exemption does not apply to third-party employers. MR. FARR: I'm sorry, Justice Ginsburg. I In
misunderstood the time frame we were dealing with. the notice of proposed rulemaking, actually I would disagree with that characterization also.
proposed rulemaking made a division among third-party employers. It said the exemption would not be available
to those third-party employers who were covered enterprises but it would be available to those who were not covered enterprises. JUSTICE SCALIA: Well, wait. Does the
notice of proposed rulemaking set forth the agency's position? MR. FARR: No, it does not. 12

They're just floating an idea. MR. FARR:
That's correct. Run it up the flagpole, see

Well, that it solicited comments
And after the comments, it changed
its position to say no, in fact, all third-party employers will be exempt. JUSTICE GINSBURG: And -- and there was no
further discussion of it after -- after it sent out the notice of proposed ruling that said third party employees will not be exempt, and then it said they will be exempt, did it give reasons for the change? MR. FARR: Yes, if I can just -- if I can The first
quibble with the premise of the question.
time it said some third-party employers would be exempt and some wouldn't. Then when it changed -Some would be the ones
that qualified as -- what is the phrase, enterprises engaged in commerce? MR. FARR: That's correct -- those would be
the ones under the proposed rulemaking that would have been denied the exemption. When in fact -- when, in
fact, the Labor Department said no, in fact, the 13
exemption should apply to all third-party employers, it said it found that more consistent with the statutory language. And it also said it was more consistent with
what it had done under other regulations which had been passed under the Fair Labor Standards Act. JUSTICE STEVENS: Mr. Farr, would you agree
that the position expressed in the notice itself would have -- in the original notice would have been consistent with the statutory language? MR. FARR: I'm not sure of that, I mean one of
Justice Stevens, to be honest with you.
the difficulties here in answering that is that I think, because the Department has such broad authority under 213(a)(15) to define and delimit the term, I think what's consistent with the statute has expanded somewhat. On the other hand, I have to say I don't really see where there would be in the language of the statute any basis for drawing a distinction between different kinds of third-party employers. The
phraseology in the coverage provisions, the phraseology in the exemption provisions, really doesn't allow for that in terms of any sort of statutory interpretation. JUSTICE STEVENS: Well there would be a
basis in terms of the size of the third-party employers. 14
I mean, it's possible, but as I
say, the -- I mean, among the difficulties that covered enterprises is not just corporations and big and small corporations. Covered enterprises beginning in 1974 So what Congress
includes state and local governments.
would have been addressing here, if it had been squarely facing the issue, would have not just been the question of how to treat large and small corporations, but whether it wanted to deny the exemption to covered enterprises such as state and local agencies who, in fact, do provide a lot of the direct employees who provide companionship care. They have a lot of
employees who actually go into homes and care for people who are employed by state and local governments. And I
think it would be a little bit unusual for Congress, who is reasonably solicitous of state interests, to deny them an exemption that would have been of considerable importance to them. As the State of -- or the City of
New York brief points out, this is a very extensive endeavor. JUSTICE GINSBURG: Were they covered before,
before there was any provision that dealt with household workers? If state and localities were considered
enterprises engaged in commerce, then presumably they were -- they had no exemption before, their companion 15
care people, just as household workers, would be covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act. MR. FARR: No, but I think, Justice
Ginsburg, the important point is they were not covered prior to 1974. There were certain -They were not treated as
JUSTICE SOUTER: covered enterprises. MR. FARR:
they were, if they worked in schools or institutions like hospitals. 1974. Other than that, they were not until This, in fact, would
have been denying them an exception at the very time that for other occupations aside from companionship services, they were first having coverage applied to them. If there are no further questions, I'd like to reserve the remainder of my time. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Mr. Salmons. ORAL ARGUMENT OF DAVID B. SALMONS ON BEHALF OF UNITED STATES AS AMICUS CURIAE SUPPORTING PETITIONERS MR. SALMONS: Thank you, Mr. Chief Justice, Thank you Mr. Farr.
and may it please the Court. The FLSA's companionship services exemption 16
applies by its terms to any employee employed in domestic service employment to provide companionship services for the aged or infirm. The Act imposes no And
limitation based on the identity of the employer. the Agency's regulation of 552.109 extending the
exception to employees of third parties is entitled to deference. The Department expressly invoked its statutory rulemaking authority in adopting Section 109, 552.109. It utilized ed notice and comment rulemaking
procedures both in 1975 and each time it considered amending the regulation. And States and care providers
have relied upon it in devising systems to provide appropriate services to the aged and the infirm. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: So if the Department
of Labor had enacted its regulations as originally proposed, those regulations would have been invalid? MR. SALMONS: Honor. No, I don't think so, Your
If you're referring to the initial proposed
rulemaking that would have exempted only some third parties, we think that would have been a permissible reading of the exemption given the fact that the Secretary is provided very broad defined limit authority. But we certainly think there's nothing in
that exemption that precludes the construction that's 17
been adopted here.
In fact, we think it is the most
consistent with that language. The language of 5523 upon which Respondent relies does not change that conclusion. While if read
in isolation that language could require that domestic service employees have to provide their services in the home of the employer, it should be not -- it should not be given that reading for the reasons explained in the Department's 2005 advisory memorandum. The Department's construction of its own regulations contained in that memorandum is itself entitled to deference under Our and Seminole Rock and its construction harmonizes the various provisions at issue here far better than Respondent's reading of 553 does. JUSTICE GINSBURG: The statute treats
together babysitters and elder care people, but I take it the babysitters if they were working for an agency rather than for the householders, there wouldn't be any exemption? Is that right? MR. SALMONS: That's correct, and that's
tied to a specific term that only applies to the exemption as to babysitters. The only thing that's
exempt with regard to babysitters is babysitting on a casual basis. Congress certainly could have included a 18
casual basis requirement with regard to the exemption for companionship services. We think it's very notable
that it did not and we read from that that Congress wanted all domestic service employees providing companionship services to be exempt, and we think that's most consistent with the goal of ensuring that those individuals who most need this type of care have the opportunity to receive them at a reasonable cost. JUSTICE GINSBURG: Isn't it odd that this --
the basic thing about the '74 legislation, it was going to add to the Fair Labor Standards Act people who were not covered before. So it added household workers. And
yet you say that, while Congress had its mind trained on adding people, it also subtracted people who were covered before, took them out, removed them from the coverage of the Act. MR. SALMONS: Well, we think that that is
the consequence of the companionship services exemption, but we don't think that's odd based on the Department of Labor's view of what the purpose of that exemption is and based on the textual difference between, for example, the exemption for baby sitting services and the exemption for companionship services. The exemption here expresses no limitation based on the identity of the employer and we think it 19
was well within the agency's discretion to conclude that what Congress had in mind here was a categorical exemption based on the type of services that are being provided; and while that may mean that there are certain workers who are now exempt who were not previously exempt, that's because Congress for the first time in 1974 focused on this problem of companionship services being provided to those who cannot care for themselves; and we think that follows from the text, and for the reasons Congress adopted that. JUSTICE STEVENS: Mr. Salmons, can I ask you
a question about the importance of the whole litigation. Am I correct in believing that there's a provision in the law that protects the defendants from damages liability if they relied in good faith on the regulation, so that what we're really talking about is whether the regulation would apply in the future rather than there being a damage issue in the case? MR. SALMONS: Well, there is a safe harbor
provision that allows for reliance by employers on a statement by the agency. JUSTICE STEVENS: to this case, would it not? MR. FARR: We certainly think it would. I That would clearly apply
take it Respondents in this case would disagree and 20
would point to the language of 552.3.
I'm not sure, for
example, how the Second Circuit would have resolved that question, given the way it viewed the statute here. we do think that that would apply and so I think one view of that would be it's largely prospective. JUSTICE STEVENS: So in your view we're But
really faced with a question of whether the regulation should be given prospective effect. MR. SALMONS: given prospective effect? JUSTICE STEVENS: As to whether the I'm sorry? What would be
Government's position should be given prospective effect because the past liability doesn't -- the damage liability just doesn't exist. MR. SALMONS: Well, that is our view.
Again, I think that would be an issue that would be litigated and I'm sure litigated heavily in the hundreds of cases that are being filed under this provision. I think it's -- one of the concerns I think of the agency here was to provide a clear statement with regard to how these seemingly conflicting provisions of the regulation are to be reconciled and applied. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: conflicted. They conflict. MR. SALMONS: Well, I certainly don't take 21
Not seemingly
I think that there are a variety of
things that point to the conclusion that the language in 552.3 that refers to "in the home of the employer" simply cannot be read literally. It was borrowed from
the Social Security context and if read the way Respondents do we think would raise a serious question about the scope of coverage because the agency has always viewed 552.3, notwithstanding the initial line that says "For purposes of the exemption," to provide the relevant definition for coverage as well. And no
party, or amici for that matter, before this Court nor the Department thinks that there's a difference between the identity of the employer for purposes of coverage. And we also think, given the language in 101 that refers to private household workers, the definition of which was provided to Congress in a report by the Department of Labor and is relied upon in the advisory memorandum in 2005, which clearly applies to third party employers, suggests that 553 cannot be read literally. And of course we know that at the same time that the agency adopted 552.3 it felt the need to adopt a specific regulation dealing with the question of third-party employment which would not be relevant -which would not be necessary under Respondent's reading. If the Court has no further questions -22
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Mr. Salmons. Mr. Becker.
ORAL ARGUMENT OF HAROLD C. BECKER ON BEHALF OF THE RESPONDENT MR. BECKER: please the Court: On October 1, 1974, just five months after the 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act took effect, the Department of Labor exercised its delegated law-making function to define this term "domestic service employment," which exists in the companionship exemption and nowhere else in the amendments. And they Mr. Chief Justice and may it
defined its clearly and explicitly to apply only to companions and baby sitters employed by the household. At the same time, DOL provided a persuasive explanation for that definition. The Department found
that such companions and baby sitters when employed by covered enterprises had been covered prior to the amendments and that it could not have been Congress' purpose, when amendments were explicitly designed to extend coverage, to at the same time contract coverage. The very preamble to the Act states that the purposes of the amendments are to expand the coverage of the Act. Therefore, the DOL itself concluded in October of 1974 23
that it was not the purpose of those amendments to deny the Act's protection to previously covered domestic service employees. The definition in 552.3, which expressly applies only to the exemption, conflicts directly with the final third-party regulation. JUSTICE BREYER: MR. BECKER: Was that later?
Yes, Your Honor. How much later?
JUSTICE BREYER: MR. BECKER:
The final regulations were
promulgated in February of 2005. JUSTICE BREYER: No, no. I thought that the
provision that was -- what is the number -- - where they say 552.109; that didn't appear anywhere until many years later. MR. BECKER: No, no, Your Honor. That was
in the final regulations, which were promulgated in February -- excuse me -- in 1975, not 2005. JUSTICE BREYER: MR. BECKER: I mean, you read --

There are lots of specific

regulation, 552.3, explicitly defines a term used only in the companionship services exemption, "domestic service employment." And it defines it clearly and 25
explicitly to apply only to employment by the household. Therefore, there is a direct conflict with the so-called third party employer regulation, which appears to say that the exemption can apply to employees employed by third parties. The importance of the conflict is twofold. One, when the original regulation was proposed the Department provided a persuasive explanation. Congress
surely didn't intend to contract coverage in amendments designed explicitly to expand coverage. JUSTICE BREYER: Did Congress intend to
cover, which I guess is a growing situation, that there is an old woman or man and they're very sick and they live in their house, there's only one way to keep them from having to go to an institution. hire a companion to look after them. third party. MR. BECKER: Your Honor, that question has Their children Now, that's a
been posed by some of the amici and it is a good question, but not the question before you. JUSTICE BREYER: MR. BECKER: Because?
And I submit that if the
Department construed section 552.3 to say when our words say "employed by the household" that could include a broader notion of the household, for example a son or 26
daughter living outside the household, that might be a permissible construction of the Department's own regulation. But the construction which simply takes

companion to live in Massachusetts, that companion does not work about a private home of the person, me, by whom she is employed. So if we're being literal and if you
win this case, I don't see how -- and I'm worried about this, obviously -- however -- and I think it's probably very common, that all over the country it's the family, the children, the grandchildren, an aunt, an uncle, maybe a good friend, maybe they're not even related, who is paying for a companion for an old, sick person so they don't have to be brought to an institution. And if you win this case, it seems to me suddenly there will be millions of people who will be unable to do it and, hence, millions of sick people who will move to institutions. Now, if I were to say that
that isn't totally a legal point, it is of course a legal point because it's a question of what people intended, but a worrisome point, I would be telling the 27
It is a very worrisome point. MR. BECKER: It's a very important question
of public policy and therefore let me answer in two ways. One, I think there is a proper procedure even
under the existing regulations to address that concern. The elderly individual that you're concerned about who is severely disabled and thus needs this care, the child or family member who is employing the companion to care for them could do so as their guardian, and therefore as a technical legal matter would be doing so, the employment would be by the person who resides in the home. JUSTICE SCALIA: It wouldn't take a whole lot
of imagination for Justice Breyer to give the money to his mother, who could then hire. MR. BECKER: Exactly. I mean, a clever lawyer
JUSTICE SCALIA: would think of that, I think. (Laughter.) MR. BECKER:
A clever lawyer could do this. And perhaps there are
people, lawyers in the Government, who try to see through that kind of thing. MR. BECKER: But let me answer the second -And there are many -- maybe

situation could be dealt with is by the Department of Labor. They could look at their regulations and say,
the industry has changed and therefore, in a way which could certainly be consistent with Congress's intent because it would not be withdrawing coverage from a previously covered employee who was employed by an enterprise, we could say that the exemption applies to companions and baby sitters employed by private individuals, including the homeowner, the son or daughter, etcetera. JUSTICE STEVENS: You're saying it's
permissible to change the rules because the industry has changed. Is it not possible that the industry changed That the

in 1961, expanded it in 1966, and indeed expanded these very amendments in 1974. So Congress was aware of the 29
We know that the Department of Labor,
in the very reports which have been cited by the petitioner, stated both in January of 1973 and in January of 1974 in their reports to Congress on the Act, stated that there was prior coverage of domestics employed by third parties. We know there was
enforcement activity by the Department of Labor against such third-party employers. So while the industry has certainly changed, there were enterprises who employed domestics, including companions, in 1974, and Congress was aware of it and stated over and over again in the preamble, in the committee reports, which indeed, the House committee report said, "Our intention is to expand the act to the extent of Federal power." CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: How -- putting aside
-- putting 552.109 aside, how is 552.3 a plausible interpretation of the statute? MR. BECKER: Your Honor, we think it is the
most plausible interpretation for the following reasons: Number one, contrary to what has been suggested, the language in the exemption is not identical to the language in the extension provision extending the minimum wage and overtime requirements. There is an important difference, and that difference is 30

to mean the same as the coverage provisions when it doesn't exist in the coverage provisions. And number three, we should avoid redundancy. There is a reading of that unique language,
"domestic service employment", which makes sense and in fact, is exactly the reading given by the Department. Congress did not intend to -CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: What employment
would someone who's hired by a third party be engaged in if not domestic service employment? MR. BECKER: The word domestic service
employment is not necessary to describe what you described, Mr. Chief Justice. If that is what the
Congress intended to describe, it could have said simply an employee employed to provide companionship services. JUSTICE SCALIA: lot of things. Well, it could have said a
But I find it -- you're hanging your
case upon the proposition that there is a difference 31
between domestic service employment and employed in domestic service employment. Wow. You know, I just don't see how there's
any difference in those two at all. MR. BECKER: Your Honor -You're saying we have to
find some difference no matter how imaginative the difference might be. If there were a difference, I'm
not sure it's the difference that you're arguing for. MR. BECKER: What I'm suggesting is not that What I'm
our case relies or hangs on that word.
suggesting is if that word, that phrase, "domestic service employment", is given the definition which the Department of Labor itself gave it, it avoids reading two phrases which are different to mean the same thing. It avoids redundancy. And moreover, it is wholly
consistent with every other piece of evidence we have about Congress's intent. Even the Department of Labor suggested it surely could not have been Congress's intent to retract coverage. The definition is consistent with that. JUSTICE SCALIA: Can I ask you what your
proposal is with regard to the contradictory regulations, 552.3 and 552. -- what is it, 109? I think they are contradictory. 32
Now, the Agency has come up with a solution. We will interpret the former quite unrealistically to mean something that it doesn't seem to us to say but -you know -- close enough for government work. What is your solution for solving the inconsistency? Are both of the regulations bad? My solution, Your Honor, has Our
two parts but leads to the same conclusion.
solution is that in applying the Act, which is the question here, does the Act apply to Ms. Coke's employment, this Court should apply the definitional regulations for two reasons, the definitional regulation for two reasons. One, it is the regulation, which no
one disputes, and was promulgated in the exercise of the Department's law making function. The Department
expressly defined and delimited its term "domestic service employment" in 552.3 and expressly said it was not doing so in the third-party regulation. So it's But
entitled to greater deference for that reason. moreover -JUSTICE SCALIA: MR. BECKER:
It is the only definition which
makes sense, which doesn't lead to a whole series of problems. JUSTICE SCALIA: 33
Because of employed and
domestic employment versus -MR. BECKER: For --- domestic service?
JUSTICE SCALIA: MR. BECKER: Your Honor.
For the following five reasons,
One, it avoids reading a term in the
statute, not only a term in the regulation but a term in the statute, completely out of the statute. the term "employment". Secondly, as the Department found, it is consistent with what was Congress's clear intent, to expand and not to contract coverage. Thirdly, if one looks at the debates, and there was extensive and vigorous debate about these amendments, the exclusive focus in Congress was the household. The opponents were exclusively concerned So And that is
with the extension of coverage to the households. applying the exemption to protect only household
employees is wholly consistent with what was Congress's exclusive -JUSTICE SCALIA: Well, you're getting into
arguments now that are not about the regulation but they're about the statute. I'm assuming that we have And you Now, how do
regulations that are entitled to deference. have two regulations that are conflicting. you decide which one prevails? 34
Counsel for the other
side says the specific governs the general, certainly an ancient prescription. Counsel also says that this is an agency regulation. The agency is given great deference in the And even if the

agency had said well, you know, they do conflict, we admit it, they totally conflict, we won't even try to reinterpret 552.3, we think that's the one that's wrong, why wouldn't we accept their statement to that effect? MR. BECKER: Your Honor, of course setting
aside, as you do, our argument that Congress has specific intent on this question, looking only at the regulation -JUSTICE SCALIA: That's statutory. I just
want to focus on the regulation arguments, not the statutory -MR. BECKER: Let me answer in several ways.
First, this Court has clearly held that an agency does not have unbounded discretion to construe its own regulations. When the terms of the regulations are Now here --
unambiguous, they cannot be construed away. JUSTICE SCALIA: They contradict each other.
They aren't unambiguous. The agency has to do
something about it, and here the agency made a choice. Even if I assume the choice was, we're going to 35
disregard 552.3, we're going to strike out those words, they were the mistake. mistake. One or the other had to be the Why shouldn't we
take their word on it? MR. BECKER: Honor. Again, for two reasons, Your
There's a difference between conflict and The words are unambiguous, and it's not
simply the -- there's two sets of words which they attempt to read out of the regulation, one of the unambiguous words that require employment by the person who's living in the home, and the other is the prefatory language which says the regulation only applies to the exemption. So in the guise of deference, the Solicitor
General and the petitioners actually suggest to this Court that it should take apart the regulation and ignore two of its three operative provisions. JUSTICE ALITO: But if they're flatly
contradictory, doesn't your argument have to be that .109(a) has lesser status? to, isn't it? MR. BECKER: That is certainly my primary That's what it boils down
argument, that this statute is relatively unique in that it vested two very different sorts of authority in the Department of Labor, one a clear law making authority to actually define and delimit, to specify what the terms 36
in the law mean -JUSTICE ALITO: I'm talking about what you
think the Department of Labor was doing when it promulgated 109(a). following: It was thinking in effect the
We have the power to issue a regulation here
that has the force and effect of law, and we're going to go through the procedure that would be necessary to issue such a regulation. But we're not invoking that
power here because we want this interpretation which we think is the correct interpretation of the statute not to be followed -- not to get as much deference from the courts as it would if we were invoking our power. Does that make any sense? would proceed in that way? MR. BECKER: Your Honor, it not only makes That an agency
sense, it's been the Department's pattern since the Act was adopted. That is, the Department since the Act was
adopted has split its regulations into those under the exemptions -- for example the primary exemption for professional, executive and administrative employees -has split its regulations under those exemptions into those which define and delimit, into those which do not define and delimit, or other general statements that apply to their interpretation. JUSTICE SCALIA: 37
Yeah, but interpretive
regulations are in other areas wholly valid before the courts and entitled to Chevron deference, at least if they're adopted by notice and comment rulemaking. You
know, we have nothing, what should I say, subordinate about interpretive regulations. In fact, probably most
of the significant regulations of the most important agencies are interpretive regulations. MR. BECKER: The important difference here, The statute, like the
Justice Scalia, is the statute.
tax statute which was interpreted by this Court in Vogel and Rowan, creates two types of authority. under the Fair Labor Standards Act, but -JUSTICE SCALIA: I understand that you say And not only
it creates two types, but there is no indication that it intended one type of authority to be entitled to less respect from the courts than the other. rely on for that? MR. BECKER: Your Honor -Where is the proposition What do you
that an interpretive regulation is somehow not a full-fledged binding regulation? MR. BECKER: question, if I might. Well, let me qualify the The Petitioner would suggest that
we're relying on simply a label, this is in the interpretive section and the other is in the general 38
regulation section.
We are relying on a
very clear statement both in the regulations, 552.2(c), as well as in both the proposed regulations and the final regulations, which clearly state that only those in Part A define and delimit. distinction? Why is that an important
It's an important distinction because
Congress clearly meant these two grants to be different. Otherwise, why would it have granted an express power to define and delimit which would otherwise be redundant of the general rulemaking authority? JUSTICE SCALIA: They're different but not
necessarily of different -- entitled to different respect from the courts. define and delimit? A defined -- what is it,
These are regulations that don't
even purport to be an interpretation of any language in the statute, but the use of authority given to the agency to cut out certain areas, to say the -- this rule won't apply to companies over this -- that can't possibly be an interpretation of the statute. So Congress says we're going to give the agency that authority. In addition, of course, we're
going to give this agency the authority that every other agency has, which is to interpret -- interpret the language of the statute. MR. BECKER: Well, Your Honor, I think we 39
can safely assume in 1974 when Congress created these two types of authority, it did so with knowledge of the law. And this Court, if you compare its decision in
Addison to its decision in Skidmore, clearly itself distinguished between the exercise of those two different interpretive or rulemaking authority. in Addison, construing a very similar term in a different exemption, giving the Department of Labor the power to define a particular term in the exemption, said that is law making authority. And we will follow what Clearly
the Department of Labor says unless it's clearly inconsistent with the statutory -- with Congress's intent. In Skidmore, where that type of expressed delegated law making authority to define and delimit was not at issue, the Court said we will record only that degree of deference to which the regulation -JUSTICE SCALIA: Skidmore was before a
rather significant case called Chevron. MR. BECKER: Absolutely, Your Honor. But it
was also before the 1974 amendment.
So if the question
is, what was Congress intending in creating two types of rulemaking authority, the power to define and delimit, and the general rulemaking authority, I think we need to consider Congress's intent at that time. 40
You mean we're going to
divide all administrative law now into those -- those regulations -- those provisions that were adopted by Congress pre-Chevron and those adopted by Congress post-Chevron, and for the ones adopted pre-Chevron we're going to treat regulation as essentially suggestions by the agency which we give Skidmore deference to, and the ones after Chevron, we're going to treat differently. Do you have any case of ours that suggests something like that, which seems to me a very strange manner of proceeding? MR. BECKER: Let me answer in two ways, Your Here we have a
particular statutory scheme that is contrary to -CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: much deference from the courts. MR. BECKER: Here we have a case essentially Ought not to get as
described by Justice Kennedy in & Haga, where we have a different statutory scheme combined with a explicit statement by the Agency as to which part of that scheme the Agency is operating under. But the case I would
cite, or the cases would be Rolo and Rove which have not -JUSTICE BREYER: Since we're into that,
we're into this fascinating subject, I thought that 41
possibly they had -- they promulgated the whole thing pursuant to the rulemaking power under that particular statute, because that's what it says in 552.2. It says
"this part" -- it doesn't say subpart, it says part -and part is 552. in the part. And both regs we are talking about are
And B says interpretations, but they don't
mean interpretive rules, because when you look at those interpretations, they have a whole lot of numbers in them, and divide by 32. Nobody thinks that Congress
meant in this statute divide by 32, as opposed by divide by 33. So as I read that, I thought the whole thing is promulgated pursuant to their rulemaking authority; Part A has more general things. specific things. Part B has more
Where am I wrong? Well, I think the question,
Your Honor, is which of the regulations were promulgated pursuant to the specific authority -JUSTICE BREYER: All of them. All of them
is what it says unless I missed something. MR. BECKER: Well, I think what you missed
is that a simple citation to the exemption does not translate into an exercise of the power to define and delimit. Because the Department was very, very specific In 552.2(c) it
as to when it was exercising that power. 42
says the definitions required by the legislation are provided in the following sections and it enumerates them and does not include the third-party regulation. Now Petitioners would suggest well, that's just a definition. They also have the power to delimit.
However, both the notice of proposed rulemaking and the notice of final rulemaking said that we are exercising our power to define and delimit in subpart A. JUSTICE BREYER: MR. BECKER: Okay. I got the point.
But part B is different. Right. Right. So why are you sure You know, 552.3
there's a conflict in the first place?
says that the term domestic service employment refers to services performed in the home of the employer. doesn't say it only refers to that. It
down and 109 says it also includes employees who are employed by a third party. I mean, can't they be reconciled in that way. MR. BECKER: I don't think so, Your Honor.
And its certainly not the way that the -CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: Agency has done it. to them, anyway. It's not the way the
But you don't think we should defer
So -43
(Laughter.) MR. BECKER: That's correct. But the
regulation -- 552.3 defines the statutory term which only exists in the exemption, domestic service employment. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: refers to something. Yeah, but it says it
It doesn't say as many of these
regulations and statutes do, is, you know, it is defined as. And particularly when you're confronted with what would otherwise be a conflict, maybe refers to should be read to mean includes rather than is defined as. MR. BECKER: Well, I think we have to read That is, all of
the definitional regulations together.
the terms in the exemption, companionship services, babysitting services, casual basis, domestic service employment, are all defined in the set of regulations, point 3, point 4, point 5, point 6. And it is clear
from the prefatory language of each one that what the Department of Labor intended to do was define the terms in the statute. And so when it said that that term refers
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: 44
interesting when you look at -- I mean, they're -- it's a good point. It's interesting when you look at the
other definitions, the babysitting, it says this provision shall mean. Here it just says it refers to.
Let's see, the other ones -- casual basis, shall mean. Companionship services, shall mean. This one doesn't say shall mean. refers to this. It says it
I'm just wondering if that's something
that suggests it's not intended to be as exclusive as the other definitions. MR. BECKER: Honor. I do not believe so, Your
It is an exercise of the power to define the
term and I don't think we can take that language "refers to" to be non-exclusive. When the Department said
referred it was defining a statutory term as it said it was. If we have any doubt about what the Department
intended, it actually of course reiterated that definition under the interpretive classification. And
it again said that the term refers to, is defined as, employment by the household. JUSTICE GINSBURG: If we had any doubt -Mr. Becker -There it says
CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: --there it says includes.
And if you're talking about
552.101, there it says the term includes persons frequently referred to as private household workers. 45
I'm referring to an earlier
provision of the same regulation, not the reference to private household workers, but where it states that the definition includes those individuals who are employed by the household, that is in 552.101(a). But if we had
any further doubt, the -- that regulation refers to, as its source of the language, the regulation adopted under the Social Security Act, now 20 CFR 404.1057. It was
originally numbered differently, but at the time, in 1974, that regulation which was explicitly the source of the language the Department of Labor used, said not once, not twice, but three times, that the individual had to be employed by the household. JUSTICE GINSBURG: Mr. -- Mr. Becker, if
there is room for the Agency to read this statute either way, one way that the third party employee would come under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the other that they would not, would be treated the same way as the person employed by the elderly person himself or herself, but if the concern of Congress in making this exemption was for the householder with limited funds, if the Agency is subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, it's going to end up being the householder paying for it anyway. So why isn't the most reasonable interpretation of what Congress meant by the exemption 46
that the exemption would apply across the board, so that all workers in this category would be exempt? MR. BECKER: Your Honor, setting aside, of
course, all the reasons about Congress's intent in 552.3 which we've already explained, we would not say that that there is any credible evidence in the legislative history or the text of the Act to suggest that cost was a factor. And let me explain why. The Department for
the first time when it promulgated its advisory memorandum suggested this was the basis of the third party regulation. It said nothing of the sort in 1975.
As support for the assertion it cited four isolated comments in the legislative history. None of them
except the last -- and there is only one of t-h-e-m related in any way to the exemption. The one that
related to the exemption in fact directly supports our position, because it describes those people who are not within the exemption as the professional domestics. So we don't think that there's any basis for suggesting that cost was the underlying rationale; and, in fact, it is really implausible. Because at the same
time, for example, Congress extended the provisions of the Act which covered nursing homes. At the same time,
as has been pointed out, Congress only exempted casual 47
Now We would submit that if Congress was
concerned about cost, in creating this babysitter and companionship exemption, the primary intended beneficiaries of that would have been working families where both people worked and therefore who require a full-time baby sitter -CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: MR. BECKER: covered. Thank you very much. CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: three minutes remaining. REBUTTAL ARGUMENT OF H. BARTOW FARR, ON BEHALF OF PETITIONERS MR. FARR: Thank you Mr. Chief Justice. Mr. Farr, you have Thank you, Counsel.

Respondent in response to Justice Scalia's question about how Respondent would reconcile the regulation 552.3 and 109(a) actually did not I believe attempt any reconciliation. If I understand
respondent's position correctly, it's simply 109(a) has to be invalidated dated and 552.3 stands in its entirety. I think that's incorrect for several reasons. First of all, the basis for it is essentially
this apparent distinction between the define and delimit 48
authority and the more general authority to enact necessary rules and regulation. But, in fact, as
Justice Breyer pointed out in his question, both grants of authority were invoked by the Department when it enacted both regulations simultaneously, not limited to either subpart A or subpart B, and for the reasons that Justice Alito points out, it is a very odd thing to attribute to the Department to say that it would exercise two different legislative powers in different parts of the -- of the regulations. There's no reason it would do that. The
subpart B regulations clearly are regulations that delimit the terms of the exemption in 213(a)(15). There's no question about that. So why in fact if it
was doing what Congress authorized it to do under 213(a)(15), would it instead of relying on the grant of authority in that provision, rely on some other general grant of authority? It makes no logical sense to
attribute that to the Department. And it seems to me, in -- excuse me -- in fact, that that argument points up one of the difficulties here. It seems to me that the arguments
here are a way of simply trying to push the Department aside so that the courts can ultimately do the final job of exposition on this exemption. 49
Not only contrary to
the basic principle of Chevron, which is where that where is ambiguity in the statute, or room for interpretation, the agencies are given the opportunity to do that within reasonable bounds; it is also contrary to the statute. It is clear as I said at the beginning of my argument, the Department was the agency chosen by Congress to do the work of defining and delimiting the exception. Now I'd like to say just one other thing in response to Justice Stevens' question about the particular nature of the litigation. damages. This is a suit for
