DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-91972) (the “Registration Statement”) of ADC Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2002. The Registration Statement registered 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.20 per share (the “Securities”), to be offered or sold pursuant to the Company’s Direct Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”). Because the Company has terminated the Plan and its offering of Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, in accordance with the undertaking in Part II of the Registration Statement (pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K), the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 3 to the Registration Statement to remove from registration all Securities registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
