We 191# infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice.... Yes, 192# they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG. 193# "[America/Porto_Acre]" is for the Territory of Acre; 194# "[America/Noronha]" is for Fernando De Noronha. 195 196# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18): 197# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 198# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 199# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 200# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 201# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 202 203# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 204# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 205# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 206# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO), 207# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 208# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 209 210# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 211# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other 212# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 213# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 214# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 215# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 216# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 217# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 218# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 219# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 220# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 221# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 222# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 223# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 224# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 225# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), 226# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do 227# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 228 229# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): 230# Let's make the following assumptions: 231# 232# * All data in Shanks are correct through 1990.

We 191# infer a rule here from one example, always a dangerous practice.... Yes, 192# they really do switch on Saturday, according to the OAG. 193# "[America/Porto_Acre]" is for the Territory of Acre; 194# "[America/Noronha]" is for Fernando De Noronha. 195 196# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1993-11-18): 197# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 198# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 199# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 200# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 201# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 202 203# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 204# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 205# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 206# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO), 207# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 208# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 209 210# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 211# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other 212# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 213# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 214# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 215# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 216# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 217# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 218# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 219# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 220# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 221# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 222# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 223# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 224# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 225# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), 226# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do 227# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 228 229# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22): 230# Let's make the following assumptions: 231# 232# * All data in Shanks are correct through 1990. In particular, 233# Shanks was right when he said Acre stopped observing DST in mid-1988. 234# * Areas where Shanks reports DST up to 1990, but the IATA reports no DST 235# in 1995, stopped observing DST in mid-1990. 236# 237# Under these assumptions Brazil needs 7 entries to cover all the distinct 238# time zone histories since 1970: 239# 240# Noronha (UTC-2), Fortaleza (UTC-3), and Manaus (UTC-4) stopped observing DST 241# in mid-1990. 242# Maceio (UTC-3) stopped observing DST in mid-1990, but started again mid-1995. 243# Sao Paulo (UTC-3) and Cuiaba (UTC-4) always observed DST. 244# Porto Acre (UTC-5) stopped observing DST in mid-1988. 245 246# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 247Rule Brazil 1931 only - Oct 3 11:00 1:00 D 248Rule Brazil 1932 1933 - Apr 1 0:00 0 S 249Rule Brazil 1932 only - Oct 3 0:00 1:00 D 250Rule Brazil 1949 1952 - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 D 251Rule Brazil 1950 only - Apr 16 0:00 0 S 252Rule Brazil 1951 1953 - Apr 1 0:00 0 S 253Rule Brazil 1963 only - Dec 9 0:00 1:00 D 254Rule Brazil 1964 only - Mar 1 0:00 0 S 255Rule Brazil 1965 only - Jan 31 0:00 1:00 D 256Rule Brazil 1965 only - Apr 1 0:00 0 S 257Rule Brazil 1965 only - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 D 258Rule Brazil 1966 1968 - Mar 1 0:00 0 S 259Rule Brazil 1966 1967 - Nov 1 0:00 1:00 D 260Rule Brazil 1985 only - Nov 2 0:00 1:00 D 261Rule Brazil 1986 only - Mar 15 0:00 0 S 262Rule Brazil 1986 1987 - Oct Sat<=28 0:00 1:00 D 263Rule Brazil 1987 only - Feb 14 0:00 0 S 264Rule Brazil 1988 only - Feb 7 0:00 0 S 265Rule Brazil 1989 only - Jan 22 0:00 0 S 266Rule Brazil 1988 1989 - Oct Sun>=10 0:00 1:00 D 267Rule Brazil 1990 1991 - Feb Sun>=11 0:00 0 S 268Rule Brazil 1990 1992 - Oct Sun>=20 0:00 1:00 D 269Rule Brazil 1992 only - Feb 9 0:00 0 S
