Hi,

For those who missed it - IS-GPS-200 has been updated a few months ago.

Thanks Leo.

For you low level time nerds, yes, even DoD can't get GPS time / UTC / UT1 / leap seconds right the first time. Synchronizing 3 time scales across a leap second discontinuity is really, really hard. More info about ICD rev-J here:

https://www.gps.gov/technical/icwg/meetings/2018/PIRN-IS-200J-001.pdf
"RFC Title: 2018 Proposed Changes to the Public Documents"

or search for RFC 374 here (page 67/117):
