There are no leap seconds planned for at least the first half of 2009. The
next bulletin will be in July. The last leap second was in December 2008.

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.
