70# on the 1st of January 2006

72# A positive leap second will be introduced at the end of December 2005.
73# The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:

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

84# Leap seconds can be introduced in UtC at the end of the months of December
85# or June, depending on the evolution of UT1-TAI. Bulletin C is mailed every
86# six months, either to announce a time step in UTC or to confirm that there
87# will be no time step at the next possible date.
