II. Discussion
UniTech Services Group, Inc. was issued export license XW023 on
April 30, 2018, authorizing the export of up to 10,000 metric tons of
tools, metals, and other solid materials contaminated with byproduct
materials, to be returned to Canada. On March 10, 2026, the licensee
converted from a corporation to a limited liability company and changed
the licensee's name to UniTech Services Group LLC. By letter dated
March 13, 2026, UniTech Services Group LLC, requested the NRC's written
consent to the indirect transfer of control of UniTech Services Group,
Inc.'s ultimate parent company, UniFirst Corporation, to Cintas
Corporation as part of a proposed merger and acquisition (ADAMS
Accession No. ML26131A206).\1\ On April 23, 2026, UniTech Services
Group LLC, submitted a complete Form 7 to the NRC, requesting amendment
XW023/01 to reflect the name change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Although the letter included an attached Form 7, the form
was not submitted in compliance with 10 CFR part 110.51(a)(1) and
therefore no licensing action related to the indirect transfer of
control was initiated at that time.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
