Working 40 hours in a 56 hour timeframe?

My fiancé got a new job and they scheduled him to work two double shifts (16 hrs each) and a single shift (8 hrs) between Fri – Sun, with only 8 hours between shifts. That equates to him working his full 40 hrs for the week in a 56 hour timeframe, from the beginning of his first shift to the end of his last shift. I’m curious if there are any regulations around something like that (we’re in the US)? It just seems like a lot, especially since he only has 8 hrs between each shift to commute home, eat, sleep, shower, and commute back. If it matters, the job is a security supervisor for all the security guards in a given campus of buildings.
