-04 600 601# Brazil 602 603# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): 604# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 605# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 606# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 607# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 608# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 609 610# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 611# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 612# Santa Catarina (SC), Paran�� (PR), S��o Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 613# Esp��rito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goi��s (GO), 614# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 615# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 616 617# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 618# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goi��s until 1989), and other 619# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 620# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 621# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 622# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 623# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 624# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 625# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 626# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 627# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 628# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 629# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 630# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 631# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 632# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amap�� (AP), Cear�� (CE), 633# Maranh��o (MA), Para��ba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piau�� (PI), and Rio Grande do 634# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Par�� (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 635 636# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 637# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html> 638 639# From Jesper N��rgaard (2000-11-03): 640# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 641# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 642# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 643 644# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 645# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 646# 647# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 648# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 649# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 650# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 651# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 652# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 653# take place on October 27th. 654# 655# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 656# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 657# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 658# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 659# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 660 661# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 662# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 663# modern Brazilian ... voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 664# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 665 666# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): 667# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: 668# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 669 670# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): 671# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario 672# Oficial da Uni��o"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, 673# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: 674# 675# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the 676# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the 677# timezone UTC+4 678# b) The whole Par�� state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just 679# part of it, as was before. 680# 681# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that 682# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying 683# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone 684# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections 685# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This 686# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, 687# 1913. 688 689# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24): 690# Just correcting the URL: 691# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008 692# 693# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco 694# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall 695# be created to represent the...west side of the Par�� State.

Go with [2]. 1132# 1133# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from 1134# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National 1135# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now 1136# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [1], as this matches the meridian 1137# referred to by the relevant Chilean laws to this day. 1138# 1139# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites 1140# Bolet��n No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2]. 1141# 1142# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur 1143# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However, 1144# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition. 1145# 1146# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper N��rgaard Welen, who 1147# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in 1148# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 1149# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1150# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 1151# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too." 1152# 1153# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks & 1154# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume 1155# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago; 1156# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and 1157# may well be true for earlier transitions. 1158 1159# From Tim Parenti (2022-07-06): 1160# For a brief period of roughly six weeks in 1946, DST was only observed on an 1161# emergency basis in specific regions of central Chile; namely, "the national 1162# territory between the provinces of Coquimbo and Concepci��n, inclusive". 1163# This was enacted by Decree 3,891, dated 1946-07-13, and took effect 1164# 1946-07-14 24:00, advancing these central regions to -03. 1165# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460715/#page/1 1166# The decree contemplated "[t]hat this advancement of the Official Time, even 1167# though it has been proposed for the cities of Santiago and Valpara��so only, 1168# must be agreed with that of other cities, due to the connection of various 1169# activities that require it, such as, for example, the operation of rail 1170# services". It was originally set to expire after 30 days but was extended 1171# through 1946-08-31 by Decree 4,506, dated 1946-08-13. 1172# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460814/#page/1 1173# 1174# Law Number 8,522, promulgated 1946-08-27, reunified Chilean clocks at their 1175# new "Summer Time" of -04, reckoned as that of "the meridian of the 1176# Astronomical Observatory of Lo Espejo, advanced by 42 minutes and 45 1177# seconds". Although this law specified the new Summer Time to start on 1 1178# September each year, a special "transitional article" started it a few days 1179# early, as soon as the law took effect. As the law was to take force "from 1180# the date of its publication in the 'Diario Oficial', which happened the 1181# following day, presume the change took place in Santiago and its environs 1182# from 24:00 -03 to 23:00 -04 on Wednesday 1946-08-28. Although this was a 1183# no-op for wall clocks in the north and south of the country, put their formal 1184# start to DST an hour later when they reached 24:00 -04. 1185# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460828/#page/1 1186# After a brief "Winter Time" stint at -05 beginning 1947-04-01, Law Number 1187# 8,777, promulgated 1947-05-17, established year-round -04 "from 23:00 on the 1188# second day after it is published in the 'Diario Oficial'."

Here is 1500# what was said then: 1501# 1502# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp 1503# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have 1504# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') 1505# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of 1506# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who 1507# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as 1508# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th 1509# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule 1510# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time 1511# as UK or Chile." 1512# 1513# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at 1514# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does 1515# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? 1516# 1517# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the 1518# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there 1519# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of 1520# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes 1521# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like 1522# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. 1523# 1524# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and 1525# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that 1526# the list changes each year.
