Filing by Rockwell

Rockwell International Corp. on Tuesday filed a self-registration that would give the company the option of raising up to $1 billion in debt securities as needed.

The technology company said potential proceeds from an offering would be applied to the firm’s general growth, according to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The filing was a routine move that allows Rockwell to put paperwork in place for any future debt, company spokesman Terry Francisco said.
