FTC gives $675 million deal the green light.

Harris Corp. received U.S. Federal Trade Commission approval to acquire the wireless-systems business of Tyco Electronics Ltd. for $675 million.

Wednesday, U.S. federal regulators granted early termination of the waiting period required under the Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust law.

Melbourne, Fla.-based Harris has said its acquisition of Tyco Electronics Wireless Systems makes it the second-largest supplier in the market for land mobile radio systems, behind public safety communications pioneer Motorola Inc.

The 1976 Hart-Scott-Rodino law requires, under certain circumstances, that prospective acquirers of voting securities or assets apply for clearance from U.S. regulators. Requests for early termination or clearance are granted when the FTC and the U.S. Justice Department's antitrust division have decided against taking action during the waiting period.
