  On 01 January 2006, a positive leap second was introduced in UTC on           
  31 December 2005                                                              
                                                                                
  The sequence of dates of the UTC second markers will be:                      
         2005  December 31,   23h 59m 59s

         2006  January   1,    0h  0m  0s                                       
                                                                                
  The difference between UTC and the International Atomic Time (TAI) is:

   from 2006 January 1, 0h UTC, until further notice      : UTC-TAI = - 33s

  Resolutions passed at the 24th General Assembly of the International          
  Astronomical Union (IAU) recommend the implementation of a number of new      
  procedures concerning the transformation between the celestial and            
  terrestrial reference systems.  Information regarding these procedures        
  is available in Chapter 5 of the IERS Conventions 2003 available at           
  <http://maia.usno.navy.mil/conv2003.html>.                                    
                                                                                
  With these resolutions, beginning on 1 January 2003, IERS Bulletins A and     
  B will publish new products in addition to those already published.  These    
  products will include the celestial pole offsets X_obs-X_IAU2000A             
  and Y_obs-Y_IAU2000A where                                                    
                                                                                
  X_obs and Y_obs are the observed X, Y coordinates of the Celestial            
  Intermediate Pole in the Geocentric Celestial Reference System, and           
                                                                                
  X_IAU2000A and Y_IAU2000A are the celestial pole coordinates provided by      
  using the IAU2000A Precession-Nutation theory.                                
                                                                                
  It is expected that Celestial Pole offsets related to the IAU1980 Nutation    
  Theory will continue to be published through 15 January 2006.    The new      
  celestial pole offsets related to the new IAU2000A Precession-Nutation        
  theory will be produced in a separate data file as well as appended to        
  to this file.
