REMOVAL OF SECURITIES FROM REGISTRATION

Harris Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-204561) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015. The Registration Statement covered an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Registrant to be issued under the Exelis Retirement Savings Plan (the “Plan”) and an indeterminate number of Plan interests. On December 31, 2015, the Plan was merged into the Harris Corporation Retirement Plan.

In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to remove from registration the Common Stock and Plan interests not heretofore sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such Common Stock and Plan interests.
