The GPS/UTC time offset is sent as part of the almanac data. Effectively,  
if you have a position lock, time will be in UTC. Most GPS receivers can  
output the time before achieving a position lock. That might be UTC or it  
might be GPS time, depending on if the almanac has been received or not.
