Sec. 60-2.35  Compliance status.

    No contractor's compliance status will be judged alone by whether it 
reaches its goals. The composition of the contractor's workforce (i.e., 
the employment of minorities or women at a percentage rate below, or 
above, the goal level) does not, by itself, serve as a basis to impose 
any of the sanctions authorized by Executive Order 11246 and the 
regulations in this chapter. Each contractor's compliance with its 
affirmative action obligations will be determined by reviewing the 
nature and extent of the contractor's good faith affirmative action 
activities as required under Sec. 60-2.17, and the appropriateness of 
those activities to identified equal employment opportunity problems. 
Each contractor's compliance with its nondiscrimination obligations will 
be determined by analysis of statistical data and other non-statistical 
information which would indicate whether employees and applicants are 
being treated without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, or 
national origin.
