-04 584 585# Brazil 586 587# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): 588# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 589# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 590# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 591# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 592# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 593 594# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 595# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 596# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 597# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO), 598# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 599# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 600 601# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 602# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other 603# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 604# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 605# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 606# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 607# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 608# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 609# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 610# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 611# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 612# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 613# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 614# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 615# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 616# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE), 617# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do 618# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 619 620# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 621# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html> 622 623# From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03): 624# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 625# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 626# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 627 628# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 629# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 630# 631# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 632# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 633# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 634# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 635# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 636# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 637# take place on October 27th. 638# 639# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 640# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 641# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 642# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 643# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 644 645# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 646# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 647# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 648# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 649 650# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): 651# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: 652# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 653 654# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): 655# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario 656# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, 657# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: 658# 659# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the 660# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the 661# timezone UTC+4 662# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just 663# part of it, as was before. 664# 665# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that 666# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying 667# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone 668# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections 669# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This 670# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, 671# 1913. 672 673# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24): 674# Just correcting the URL: 675# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008 676# 677# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco 678# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall 679# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I 680# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most 681# important/populated city in the affected area. 682# 683# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to 684# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4. 685 686# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24): 687# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map. 688# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php 689# 690# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05 691# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western 692# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04). 693 694# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10): 695# The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from 696# Decretos sobre o Horário de Verão no Brasil. 697# http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html 698 699# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29): 700# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late 701# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and 702# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine).
