Is there an acceptable amount of c-bit, p-bit errors on a DS3?

We were having a problem with a DS3 that terminates in a 3845 that was reporting about 1000 c-bit errors a day.  AT&T isolated the problem and fixed it.  Now we see about 70 c-bit errors a day.

T3 1/0 is up.
  Applique type is Subrate T3
  No alarms detected.
  MDL transmission is disabled

  FEAC code received: No code is being received
  Framing is C-BIT Parity, Line Code is B3ZS, Clock Source is Internal
  Data in current interval (640 seconds elapsed):
     0 Line Code Violations, 14 P-bit Coding Violation
     14 C-bit Coding Violation, 14 P-bit Err Secs
     0 P-bit Severely Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Framing Secs
     0 Unavailable Secs, 0 Line Errored Secs
     14 C-bit Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Severely Errored Secs
  Total Data (last 24 hours)
     0 Line Code Violations, 69 P-bit Coding Violation,
     69 C-bit Coding Violation, 69 P-bit Err Secs,
     0 P-bit Severely Err Secs, 0 Severely Err Framing Secs,
     0 Unavailable Secs, 0 Line Errored Secs,
     69 C-bit Errored Secs, 0 C-bit Severely Errored Secs

Every once an while we've seen a few errors on this line before but I'm wondering if there is an acceptable amount?  Is 69 in a 24 hour period too many?  At what point should we be concerned?

Thanks
