                                                Bulletin C 49

   To authorities responsible for the measurement and distribution of
time


                                     UTC TIME STEP
                              on the 1st of July 2015


   A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of June 2015.
   The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:		
		
                            2015 June 30,     23h 59m 59s
                            2015 June 30,     23h 59m 60s
                            2015 July  1,      0h  0m  0s

   The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time TAI is:

    from 2012 July 1,    0h UTC, to 2015 July 1  0h UTC  : UTC-TAI = - 35s
    from 2015 July 1,    0h UTC, until further notice    : UTC-TAI = - 36s



   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.
