INFORMATION ON UTC - TAI
NO positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2009.
The difference between Coordinated Universal Time UTC and the
International Atomic Time TAI is :
from 2009 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice : UTC-TAI = -34 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.
