From the IS-200M:
30.3.3.5.1.1 User Algorithm for Application of the EOP.
"For UT1, Table 30-VIII documents the relationship between GPS time and
UT1 with ΔUTGPS and ΔU̇ TGPS. Users who may need ΔUT1 (UT1-UTC)
as detailed in Chapter 5 of IERS Technical Note 36: IERS Conventions
(2010) can calculate this parameter from UT1-UTC, or more accurately
as (UT1-GPS) + (GPS-UTC), using intermediate quantities (UT1-GPS) and
(GPS-UTC) which are produced during calculation of UT1 and UTC. r
