9# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
10# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
11# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
12# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
13#
14# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
15# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94
16# <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359>.
17#
18# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
19# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
20# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
21# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
22# of the IATA's data after 1990.
23#
24# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
25# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
26#
27# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
28# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
29# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
30# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
31# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use
32# in Europe and South America.
33# -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in
34# H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466
35#
36# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
37# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
38# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in
39# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06):
40# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
41# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the
42# "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city.
43# The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or
44# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
45# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".
46# So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now.
47# Corrections are welcome!

109# On October 3, 1999, 0:00 local, Argentina implemented daylight savings time,

119# From Peter Gradelski via Steffen Thorsen (2000-03-01):
120# We just checked with our Sao Paulo office and they say the government of
121# Argentina decided not to become one of the countries that go on or off DST.
122# So Buenos Aires should be -3 hours from GMT at all times.
123#
124# From Fabian L. Arce Jofre (2000-04-04):
125# The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
126# de la Rua on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy
127# in the winter time, rather than less. The change took effect on March 3.
128#
129# From Mariano Absatz (2001-06-06):
130# one of the major newspapers here in Argentina said that the 1999
131# Timezone Law (which never was effectively applied) will (would?) be
132# in effect.... The article is at
133# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-06/e-01701.htm
134# ... The Law itself is "Ley No 25155", sanctioned on 1999-08-25, enacted
135# 1999-09-17, and published 1999-09-21. The official publication is at:

142# http://ar.clarin.com/diario/2001-06-12/s-03501.htm
143#
144# (2001-06-25):
145# Last Friday (yes, the last working day before the date of the change), the
146# Senate annulled the 1999 law that introduced the changes later postponed.
147# http://www.clarin.com.ar/diario/2001-06-22/s-03601.htm
148# It remains the vote of the Deputies..., but it will be the same....
149# This kind of things had always been done this way in Argentina.
150# We are still -03:00 all year round in all of the country.
151#
152# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-12-21):
153# A user (Leonardo Chaim) reported that Argentina will adopt DST....
154# all of the country (all Zone-entries) are affected. News reports like
155# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/opinion/nota.asp?nota_id=973037 indicate
156# that Argentina will use DST next year as well, from October to
157# March, although exact rules are not given.
158#
159# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2007-12-26)
160# The last hurdle of Argentina DST is over, the proposal was approved in
161# the lower chamber too (Deputados) with a vote 192 for and 2 against.
162# By the way thanks to Mariano Absatz and Daniel Mario Vega for the link to
163# the original scanned proposal, where the dates and the zero hours are

171# are quite possibly wrong, but are more likely than no DST at all.
172
173# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2008-09-05):

259# The following eight (8) provinces pulled clocks back to UTC-04:00 at

268# ... this weekend, the Province of Tucuman decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00
269# yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's
270# annoyance with the change is much higher than the power savings obtained....

272# From Gwillim Law (2004-06-14):
273# http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
274# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
275# the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
276# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
277# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
278# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
279# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
280# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
281# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
282# date than the "three days earlier" phrase, and conclude that Tierra del

330#
331# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21.st at 0:00

336
337# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-01-25):

350# From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
351# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that

355# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
356#
357# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San

366# Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks & Pottenger through 1992,

368# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
369# was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll

374# Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
375# decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
376# to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...

389# The press release says:

392#
393# A partir de entonces, San Luis establecer� el huso horario propio de

391# The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
392# ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
393# inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
394#
395# Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
396# during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
397# in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
398
399# From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
400# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
401#
402# The Law at
403# <a href="http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276>"
404# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276

406# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
407# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
408# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
409# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
410#
411# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
412#
413# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
414# Sunday of October and March.
415#
416# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
417# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
418# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
419#
420# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
421# (October 11th) at 0:00.
422#
423# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
424# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
425#
426# I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
427# timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
428# right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
429# is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
430# of the country calls it "ART".

648# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
649# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
650# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
651# The rule change lasted only part of the day;
652# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
653# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
654
655# From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
656# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
657# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
658# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO),
659# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
660# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
661
662# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
663# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other
664# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
665# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
666# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
667# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
668# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
669# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
670# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
671# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
672# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
673# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
674# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
675# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
676# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
677# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE),
678# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do
679# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

690
691# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
692# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
693#
694# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
695# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
696# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
697# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
698# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
699# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
700# take place on October 27th.
701#
702# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
703# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
704# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
705# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
706# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
707
708# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
709# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
710# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
711# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
712
713# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
714# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

717# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
718# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
719# Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
720# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
721#
722# a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the
723# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
724# timezone UTC+4
725# b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
726# part of it, as was before.
727#
728# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
729# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
730# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
731# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
732# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
733# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
734# 1913.

1136# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):

1138# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
1139# (1998-09-29):
1140# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
1141# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
1142# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
1143
1144# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):

1154# ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15

1229# As stated in the website of the Chilean Energy Ministry
1230# http://www.minenergia.cl/ministerio/noticias/generales/gobierno-anuncia-fechas-de-cambio-de.html
1231# The Chilean Government has decided to postpone the entrance into winter time

1233# been yet formalized but it will within the next days.
1234# Quote from the website communication:
1235#
1236# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:
1237# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at
1238# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00
1239# of the same day.
1240# b. Saturday, September 1, 2012, clocks should go forward 60 minutes; that is,
1241# at 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be
1242# 01:00 on September 2.

1384# From Falkland Islands Government Office, London (2001-01-22)
1385# via Jesper Norgaard:
1386# ... the clocks revert back to Local Mean Time at 2 am on Sunday 15
1387# April 2001 and advance one hour to summer time at 2 am on Sunday 2
1388# September. It is anticipated that the clocks will revert back at 2
1389# am on Sunday 21 April 2002 and advance to summer time at 2 am on
1390# Sunday 1 September.
1391
1392# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
1393#
1394# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1395# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1396# what was said then:
1397#
1398# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1399# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1400# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1401# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1402# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1403# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1404# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1405# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1406# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1407# as UK or Chile."
1408#
1409# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1410# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1411# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1412#
1413# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1414# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1415# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1416# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1417# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1418# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1419#
1420# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1421# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1422# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
1423# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
1424
1425# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1426# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
1427# better info.
1428
1429# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
1430# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
1431# daylight saving time.

1437#
1438# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
1439# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
1440# third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
1441# hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
1442#
1443# IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
1444# will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
1445# time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term
1446# change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
1447#
1448# From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
1449# A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
1450# Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
1451# states...
1452# The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
1453# clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
1454# The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
1455# summer time on a trial basis only. FIG need to contact IANA and/or
1456# the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
1457# the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
1458#
1459# For now we will assume permanent summer time for the Falklands
1460# until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011
1461# experiment was apparently successful.)
