BOT # Bolivia Time 612 613# Brazil 614 615# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): 616# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules 617# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. 618# The rule change lasted only part of the day; 619# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business 620# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. 621 622# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): 623# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), 624# Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), 625# Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO), 626# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. 627# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] 628 629# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): 630# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other 631# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were 632# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... 633# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until 634# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 635# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 636# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 637# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 638# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 639# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 640# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 641# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 642# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 643# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 644# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE), 645# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do 646# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 647 648# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 649# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html> 650 651# From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03): 652# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 653# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 654# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 655 656# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 657# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 658# 659# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 660# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 661# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 662# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 663# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 664# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 665# take place on October 27th. 666# 667# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 668# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 669# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 670# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 671# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 672 673# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 674# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 675# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 676# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 677 678# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): 679# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: 680# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 681 682# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): 683# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario 684# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, 685# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: 686# 687# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the 688# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the 689# timezone UTC+4 690# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just 691# part of it, as was before. 692# 693# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that 694# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying 695# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone 696# UTC+5 too early in the night.

Go with [2]. 1133# 1134# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur 1135# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However, 1136# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition. 1137# 1138# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who 1139# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in 1140# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 1141# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1142# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 1143# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too." 1144# 1145# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks & 1146# Pottenger.

Here is 1399# what was said then: 1400# 1401# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp 1402# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have 1403# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') 1404# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of 1405# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who 1406# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as 1407# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th 1408# and started again on September 12/13th.

I think that this does 1414# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? 1415# 1416# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the 1417# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there 1418# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of 1419# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes 1420# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like 1421# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. 1422# 1423# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and 1424# which doesn't each year.
