AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
§ 49.51. Purpose.
(a) An affirmative action program is a set of specific and result oriented procedures to which a contractor shall apply every good faith effort. The objective of those procedures and efforts is to assure equal employment opportunity. An acceptable affirmative action program shall include an analysis of areas within which the contractor may be discriminating, unintentionally or otherwise, against minority groups and women; and further goals and timetables to which the good faith efforts of the contractor shall be directed to correct the deficiencies and, thus to eliminate all discrimination against minority groups and women at all levels and in all segments of its work force. A necessary prerequisite to the development of a satisfactory affirmative action program is the identification and analysis of problem areas of minority group (including women) employment, and an evaluation of opportunities for utilization of minority groups and women personnel.
(b) Not all State contractors are required to submit an affirmative action program. Affirmative action programs not voluntarily agreed to through conciliation and persuasion can be imposed by order only on those State contractors found deficient under § 49.37 (relating to notifying contractor) and who are so adjudicated after a hearing in accordance with § 49.62 (relating to notice of noncompliance).
