The purpose of the provisions in this part is to set forth the
interpretations and guidelines of the Office of Federal Contract
Compliance Programs regarding the implementation of Executive Order
11246, as amended for the promotion and insuring of equal opportunities
for all persons employed or seeking employment with Government
contractors and subcontractors or with contractors and subcontractors
performing under federally assisted construction contracts, without
regard to sex. Experience has indicated that special problems related to
the implementation of the Executive order require a definitive treatment
beyond the terms of the order itself. These interpretations are to be
read in connection with existing regulations, set forth in Part 60-1 of
this chapter.
