    Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the provisions of the 
Government in the Sunshine Act, Public Law 94-409, that the Securities

hear oral argument in an appeal by Absolute Potential, Inc. (f/k/a 
Absolute Waste Services, Inc.) from an initial decision of an 
administrative law judge.
    On February 15, 2012, the law judge found that Absolute Potential, 
Inc., an issuer whose common stock is registered pursuant to Section 
12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, violated Exchange Act 
Section 13(a) and Exchange Act Rules 13a-1 and 13a-13 by failing to 
file timely quarterly and annual reports for any period after June 30, 
2006. The law judge revoked the registration of the company's stock 
pursuant to Exchange Act Section 12(j). Absolute filed certain annual 
and quarterly reports prior to, as well as after, the issuance of the 
law judge's decision.
    Absolute Potential does not appeal the law judge's findings of 
violation but, rather, the law judge's determination to revoke its 
registration. Exchange Act Section 12(j) authorizes sanctions, 
including revocation, for reporting violations where it is ``necessary 
or appropriate for the protection of investors.'' Issues likely to be 
considered at oral argument include the extent to which, under the 
circumstances, sanctions are warranted.
    The duty officer has determined that no earlier notice was 
practicable.
    For further information, please contact the Office of the Secretary 
at (202) 551-5400.

    Dated: December 11, 2013.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
