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.

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.
