ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING

File No. 3-18461

In the Matter of 

Universal Bioenergy, Inc.,

Respondent.

CORRECTED ORDER INSTITUTING 

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDINGS 

AND NOTICE OF HEARING PURSUANT 

TO SECTION 12(j) OF THE SECURITIES 

EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

I.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") deems it necessary and 

appropriate for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings be, and hereby 

are, instituted pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") 

against Universal Bioenergy, Inc. ("UBRG" or the "Respondent").

II.

After an investigation, the Division of Enforcement alleges that:

A. RESPONDENT

1. UBRG, currently or formerly a Nevada corporation based in Irvine, 

California (CIK No. 0001320729), is or was in the energy development business. UBRG 

registered its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act effective October 15, 

2013. Prior to that time, UBRG voluntarily filed reports with the Commission. As of 

December 7, 2017, the common stock of UBRG was quoted on OTC Link, operated by OTC 

Markets Group Inc. (formerly "Pink Sheets"), had five market makers, and was eligible for the 

"piggyback" exception of Exchange Act Rule 15c2-11(f)(3).

B. DELINQUENT PERIODIC FILINGS

2. UBRG failed to comply with Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and 

Rules 13a-1, 13a-11, and 13a-13 thereunder, while UBRG's common stock was registered with 

the Commission, in that: (i) UBRG has not filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K since 

October 15, 2013; (ii) UBRG has not filed periodic or quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for any 

fiscal period subsequent to its fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2014; and, (iii) UBRG has not 
2

timely filed current reports on Form 8-K to disclose fully certain reportable events as required by 

Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-11 thereunder, including, but not limited to, the 

resignation of former UBRG senior officer and director Vince Guest. 

3. Exchange Act Section 13(a) and the rules promulgated thereunder require 

issuers of securities registered pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12 to file with the Commission 

current and accurate information in periodic and other reports, even if the registration is 

voluntary under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, Exchange Act Rule 13a-1 

requires issuers to file annual reports, Exchange Act Rule 13a-13 requires issuers to file quarterly 

reports, and Exchange Act Rule 13a-11 requires issuers to file current reports to disclose certain 

events. As a result of the foregoing, the Respondent failed to comply with Exchange Act 

Section 13(a) and Rules 13a-1, 13a-11, and 13a-13 thereunder.

III.

In view of the allegations made by the Division of Enforcement, the Commission deems 

it necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors that public administrative proceedings 

be instituted to determine: 

A. Whether the allegations contained in Section II hereof are true and, in connection 

therewith, to afford the Respondent an opportunity to establish any defenses to such allegations; 

and,

B. Whether it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to suspend 

for a period not exceeding twelve months, or revoke the registration of each class of securities 

registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act of the Respondent, and any successor 

under Exchange Act Rules 12b-2 or 12g-3, and any new corporate names of the Respondent.

IV.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that a public hearing for the purpose of taking evidence on 

the questions set forth in Section III hereof shall be convened at a time and place to be fixed, and 

before an Administrative Law Judge to be designated by further order as provided by Rule 110 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.110.

IT IS HEREBY FURTHER ORDERED that the Respondent shall file an Answer to the 

allegations contained in this Order within ten (10) days after service of this Order, as provided by 

Rule 220(b) of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.220(b).

If the Respondent fails to file the directed Answer, or fails to appear at a hearing after 

being duly notified, the Respondent, and any successor under Exchange Act Rules 12b-2 or 

12g-3, and any new corporate name of the Respondent, may be deemed in default and the 

proceeding may be determined against it upon consideration of this Order, the allegations of 

which may be deemed to be true as provided by Rules 155(a), 220(f), 221(f), and 310 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. §§ 201.155(a), 201.220(f), 201.221(f), and 201.310.
3

This Order shall be served forthwith upon the Respondent as provided for in the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, pursuant to Rule 360(a)(2) of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.360(a)(2), the Administrative Law Judge shall issue an initial 

decision no later than thirty (30) days from the occurrence of one of the following events: (A) The 

completion of post-hearing briefing in a proceeding where the hearing has been completed; (B) 

Where the hearing officer has determined that no hearing is necessary, upon completion of briefing 

on a motion pursuant to Rule 250 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.250; or 

(C) The determination by the hearing officer that a party is deemed to be in default under Rule 155 

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice, 17 C.F.R. § 201.155, and no hearing is necessary. 

In the absence of an appropriate waiver, no officer or employee of the Commission 

engaged in the performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in this or any factually 

related proceeding will be permitted to participate or advise in the decision of this matter, except 

as witness or counsel in proceedings held pursuant to notice. Since this proceeding is not "rule 

making" within the meaning of Section 551 of the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not 

deemed subject to the provisions of Section 553 delaying the effective date of any final 

Commission action.

By the Commission.
