This Registration Statement No. 333-41063 (the "Registration Statement")
registered shares of common stock, no par value per share, (the "Common Stock"),
of Total Control Products, Inc. (the "Registrant") which could be purchased
pursuant to Registrant's 1996 Discount Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").
On January 5, 1999, Orion Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of GE
Fanuc Automation North America, Inc., and an indirect majority owned subsidiary
of General Electric Company, accepted for payment approximately ninety-eight
percent (98%) of the outstanding Common Stock of the Registrant pursuant to a
tender offer. The last Purchase Period (as defined in the Plan) ended on
November 30, 1998, and upon acceptance for payment of the Common Stock pursuant
to the tender offer, the Plan was terminated. As a result of the consummation
of the tender offer and the termination of the Plan, the Registrant hereby
amends the Registration Statement to remove the Common Stock from registration
under the Registration Statement.
