| 8 | # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |
| 9 | # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is |
| 10 | # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), |
| 11 | # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). |
| 12 | # |
| 13 | # Gwillim Law writes that a good source |
| 14 | # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport |
| 15 | # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), |
| 16 | # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries |
| 17 | # of the IATA's data after 1990. |
| 18 | # |
| 19 | # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for |
| 20 | # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. |
| 21 | # |
| 22 | # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and |
| 23 | # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote |
| 24 | # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST). |
| 25 | # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome |
| 26 | # _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use |
| 27 | # in Europe and South America. |
| 28 | # -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in |
| 29 | # H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466 |
| 30 | # |
| 31 | # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style |
| 32 | # for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say |
| 33 | # "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in |
| 34 | # the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06): |
| 35 | # The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in |
| 36 | # Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the |
| 37 | # "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city. |
| 38 | # The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or |
| 39 | # "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such |
| 40 | # name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time". |
| 41 | # So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now. |

| 504 | # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): |
| 505 | # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules |
| 506 | # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. |
| 507 | # The rule change lasted only part of the day; |
| 508 | # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business |
| 509 | # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. |
| 510 | |
| 511 | # From IATA SSIM (1996-02): |
| 512 | # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), |
| 513 | # Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), |
| 514 | # Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO), |
| 515 | # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. |
| 516 | # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] |
| 517 | |
| 518 | # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): |
| 519 | # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other |
| 520 | # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were |
| 521 | # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... |
| 522 | # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until |
| 523 | # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, |
| 524 | # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 |
| 525 | # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is |
| 526 | # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is |
| 527 | # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's |
| 528 | # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 |
| 529 | # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. |
| 530 | # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline |
| 531 | # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each |
| 532 | # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that |
| 533 | # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), |
| 534 | # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do |
| 535 | # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. |

| 539 | # Brazilian official page |
| 540 | # </a> |
| 541 | |
| 542 | # From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03): |

| 546 | |
| 547 | # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): |
| 548 | # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. |
| 549 | # |
| 550 | # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and |
| 551 | # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first |
| 552 | # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, |
| 553 | # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is |
| 554 | # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second |
| 555 | # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will |
| 556 | # take place on October 27th. |
| 557 | # |
| 558 | # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands |
| 559 | # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the |
| 560 | # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, |
| 561 | # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution |
| 562 | # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... |
| 563 | |
| 564 | # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): |
| 565 | # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly |
| 566 | # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal |
| 567 | # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. |
| 568 | |
| 569 | # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): |
| 570 | # Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: |

| 572 | |
| 573 | # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): |
| 574 | # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario |
| 575 | # Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, |
| 576 | # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: |
| 577 | # |
| 578 | # a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the |
| 579 | # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the |
| 580 | # timezone UTC+4 |
| 581 | # b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just |
| 582 | # part of it, as was before. |
| 583 | # |
| 584 | # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that |
| 585 | # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying |
| 586 | # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone |
| 587 | # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections |
| 588 | # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This |
| 589 | # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, |
| 590 | # 1913. |
| 591 | |

| 596 | # </a> |
| 597 | # |
| 598 | # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco |
| 599 | # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall |
| 600 | # be created to represent the the west side of the Para State. I |
| 601 | # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most |
| 602 | # important/populated city in the affected area. |
| 603 | # |
| 604 | # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to |
| 605 | # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4. |

| 612 | # |
| 613 | # - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones-eliminating time zone UTC- 05 |
| 614 | # (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT- 04) - western |
| 615 | # part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC- 03 (from UTC -04). |

| 623 | # From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29): |
| 624 | # As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late |
| 625 | # yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and |
| 626 | # it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on |
| 627 | # past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that |

| 947 | # From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19): |
| 948 | # The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY |
| 949 | # of October.... The law is the same for March and October. |
| 950 | # (1998-09-29): |
| 951 | # Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into |
| 952 | # DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ... |
| 953 | # (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess). |
| 954 | |
| 955 | # From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18): |
| 956 | # Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later, |
| 957 | # on April 3, (one-time change). |

| 961 | |
| 962 | # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-10-08): |
| 963 | # I think that there are some obvious mistakes in the suggested link |
| 964 | # from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 says that GMT-4 |
| 965 | # ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15 |
| 966 | # (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 respectively), but |
| 967 | # anyhow it clears up some doubts too. |
| 968 | |
| 969 | # From Paul Eggert (2006-12-27): |
| 970 | # The following data for Chile and America/Santiago are from |
| 971 | # <http://www.horaoficial.cl/horaof.htm> (2006-09-20), transcribed by |
| 972 | # Jesper Norgaard Welen. The data for Pacific/Easter are from Shanks |
| 973 | # & Pottenger, except with DST transitions after 1932 cloned from |
| 974 | # America/Santiago. The pre-1980 Pacific/Easter data are dubious, |
| 975 | # but we have no other source. |
| 976 | |
| 977 | # From German Poo-Caaman~o (2008-03-03): |
| 978 | # Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This |
| 979 | # is one-time change (Saturday 3/29 at 24:00 for America/Santiago |
| 980 | # and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter) |

| 1115 | # |
| 1116 | # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last |
| 1117 | # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is |
| 1118 | # what was said then: |
| 1119 | # |
| 1120 | # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp |
| 1121 | # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have |
| 1122 | # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') |
| 1123 | # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of |
| 1124 | # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who |
| 1125 | # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as |
| 1126 | # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th |
| 1127 | # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule |
| 1128 | # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time |
| 1129 | # as UK or Chile." |
| 1130 | # |
| 1131 | # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at |
| 1132 | # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does |
| 1133 | # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? |
| 1134 | # |
| 1135 | # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the |
| 1136 | # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there |
| 1137 | # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of |
| 1138 | # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes |
| 1139 | # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like |
| 1140 | # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. |
| 1141 | # |
| 1142 | # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and |
| 1143 | # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that |
| 1144 | # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her |
| 1145 | # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner. |
| 1146 | |
| 1147 | # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05): |
| 1148 | # For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no |
