-04 585 586# Brazil 587 588# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): 589# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 590# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 591# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 592# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 593# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 594 595# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 596# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 597# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 598# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO), 599# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 600# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 601 602# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 603# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other 604# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 605# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 606# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 607# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 608# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 609# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 610# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 611# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 612# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 613# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 614# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 615# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 616# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 617# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE), 618# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do 619# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 620 621# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 622# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html> 623 624# From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03): 625# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 626# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 627# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 628 629# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 630# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 631# 632# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 633# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 634# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 635# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 636# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 637# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 638# take place on October 27th. 639# 640# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 641# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 642# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 643# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 644# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 645 646# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 647# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 648# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 649# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 650 651# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): 652# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: 653# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 654 655# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): 656# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario 657# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, 658# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: 659# 660# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the 661# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the 662# timezone UTC+4 663# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just 664# part of it, as was before. 665# 666# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that 667# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying 668# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone 669# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections 670# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This 671# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, 672# 1913. 673 674# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24): 675# Just correcting the URL: 676# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008 677# 678# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco 679# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall 680# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I 681# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most 682# important/populated city in the affected area. 683# 684# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to 685# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4. 686 687# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24): 688# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map. 689# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php 690# 691# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05 692# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western 693# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04). 694 695# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10): 696# The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from 697# Decretos sobre o Horário de Verão no Brasil. 698# http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html 699 700# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29): 701# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late 702# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and 703# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine).
