Commission may grant the petition subject to such conditions as it may 
determine appropriate and subject to revocation. Whenever any relief 
granted to any person is sought to be revoked for failure to comply with 
the conditions of the Commission, that person shall be notified in 
writing of the facts constituting such failure and afforded an 
opportunity to achieve or demonstrate compliance.
    (c) Compliance after submission of petitions. The submission of a 
petition or any delay of the Commission in acting upon such petition 
shall not relieve any employer, employment agency, or labor organization 
from any obligations to comply with this part. However, the Commission 
shall give notice of the denial of any petition with due promptness.
