Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), 13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). 14 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources. 15 # 16 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source 17 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 19 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 20 # of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted, 21 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 22 # 23 # For data circa 1899, a common source is: 24 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94. 25 # http://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359 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 So 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 Braslia time" is considered the 42 # "official time" because Braslia is the capital city. 43 # The other three time zones are called "Braslia 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! 48 # std dst 49 # -2:00 FNT FNST Fernando de Noronha 50 # -3:00 BRT BRST Braslia 51 # -4:00 AMT AMST Amazon 52 # -5:00 ACT ACST Acre 53 54 ############################################################################### 55 56 ############################################################################### 57 58 # Argentina 59 60 # From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): 61 # Argentina: first Sunday in October to first Sunday in April since 1976. 62 # Double Summer time from 1969 to 1974.

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 Amap (AP), Cear (CE), 645 # Maranho (MA), Paraba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piau (PI), and Rio Grande do 646 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Par (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 Nrgaard (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.

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 Unio"...) 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 Par 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.
