To authorities responsible
for the measurement and
distribution of time
INFORMATION ON UTC - TAI
NO positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2005.
The difference between Coordinated Universal Time UTC and the
International Atomic Time TAI is :
from 1999 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = -32 s
Leap seconds can be introduced in UTC at the end of the months of December
or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every
six months, either to announce a time step in UTC, or to confirm that there
will be no time step at the next possible date.
