BILLING CODE 7590-01-P NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [Docket No. 1106249; NRC-2026-2213] UniTech Services Group LLC; Application for Name Change and Request for Consent to the Indirect Transfer of Control of Export License AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Opportunity to comment, request a hearing, and petition for leave to intervene. SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)received and is considering approval of an application dated April 23, 2026, submitted by UniTech Services Group, Inc. to change its corporate name to UniTech Services Group LLC and providing consent to the indirect transfer of control of Export License XW023 from current parent company UniFirst Corporation to Cintas Corporation. The NRC is providing notice of the opportunity to comment, request a hearing, and petition for leave to intervene on UniTech Services Group LLC's, application and its request for consent to an indirect transfer of control. These actions will amend the existing license authorizing the export of radioactive waste to Canada by changing the name on the license from UniTech Services Group, Inc. to UniTech Services Group LLC, and provide written consent to the licensee for the indirect transfer of control. DATES: Submit comments by June 17, 2026. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

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. III. Opportunity To Comment The NRC is providing notice of the receipt of the application and the request for consent to the indirect transfer of control and is providing the opportunity to submit written comments concerning the actions in this notice. Within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, persons may submit written comments regarding the name change and the indirect license transfer of control, as provided in section 110.81 of title 10 of the *Code of Federal Regulations* (10 CFR). The NRC will consider and, if appropriate, respond to these comments, but such comments will not otherwise constitute part of the decisional record. Comments should be submitted as described in the “Addresses” section of this notice. IV. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to Intervene Within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice any person may file a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene with respect to the actions in this notice. A hearing request or intervention petition must include the information specified in 10 CFR 110.82(b). Any request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene shall be served by the requestor or petitioner in accordance with 10 CFR 110.89(a), either by delivery, by mail, or filed with the NRC electronically in accordance with the NRC's E-Filing rule (72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562; August 3, 2012). Detailed guidance on electronic submissions may be found in the “Guidance for Electronic Submissions to the NRC” (ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) and on the NRC's public website ( *https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html* ). To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the Office of the Secretary by email at *Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov,* or by telephone at 301-415-1677, to
(1)request a digital identification
(ID)certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and
(2)advise the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
