Operative words
Rather, this original version of the cost-justification rule was nothing more than a safe harbor, a nonexclusive objective test for employers to use in determining whether they could be certain of qualifying for the sec. 4(f)(2) exemption. It was not until 1979 that this regulatory safe harbor was transformed into the exclusive means of escaping classification... (Betts, 492 U.S. at 172)... The language of the Notice speaks of sufficient--though not necessary--conditions in which it "will be deemed" that more than a nominal portion of a business's operations have been suspended.... That is a quintessential safe harbor. for Appellees at 37-38)
Notes
The United States' own authority for the meaning of 'safe harbor' (Br. for Appellees at 37, 45).
