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

619 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
620 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
621 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
622 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
623 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
624 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
626 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
627 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
628 # Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
629 # Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
630 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
631 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
633 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
634 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
635 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
636 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
637 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
638 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
639 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
640 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
641 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
642 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
643 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
644 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
645 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
646 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
647 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
648 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
649 # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
650 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

654 # Brazilian official page

660 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
662 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
663 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
665 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
666 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
667 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
668 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
669 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
670 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
671 # take place on October 27th.
673 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
674 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
675 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
676 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
677 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
679 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
680 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
681 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
682 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
684 # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
685 # Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

688 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
689 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
690 # Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
691 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
693 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the
694 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
696 # b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
697 # part of it, as was before.
699 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
700 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
701 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
702 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
703 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
704 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
707 # From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
708 # Just correcting the URL:

710 # https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
713 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
714 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
715 # be created to represent the the west side of the Para State. I
716 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
717 # important/populated city in the affected area.
719 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
720 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.

1063 # The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
1064 # of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
1066 # Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
1067 # DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
1068 # (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
1070 # From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):

1080 # ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15

1231 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1232 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1233 # what was said then:
1235 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1236 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1237 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1238 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1239 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1240 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1241 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1242 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1243 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1246 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1247 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1248 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1250 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1251 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1252 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1253 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1254 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1255 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1257 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1258 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1259 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
1260 # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
