                                               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.
