I assume you meant to say 70 percent, not 70. What do you mean by fully
certified? What happened to the other 30%? Are these CCIEs who have not
recertified after two years and are now inactive? Do these numbers come
from Cisco?

The percentages you cite seem in line with the info on the Cisco site as
of December 4,
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/625/ccie/ccie_program/ccie_present.html
but your numbers seem low.

Does Cisco release these figures? They sound about right from the reports
of those who have been to the lab exam.
