Shanks, The International Atlas (5th edition), 12# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1999). 13# 14# Gwillim Law writes that a good source 15# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport 16# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), 17# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries 18# of the IATA's data after 1990. 19# 20# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, 21# and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. 22# 23# Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and 24# ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote 25# suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST). 26# I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome 27# _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use 28# in Europe and South America. 29# -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in 30# H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466 31# 32# Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style 33# for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say 34# "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in 35# the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06): 36# The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in 37# Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the 38# "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city. 39# The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or 40# "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such 41# name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time". 42# So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now. 43# Corrections are welcome! 44# std dst 45# -2:00 FNT FNST Fernando de Noronha 46# -3:00 BRT BRST Brasilia 47# -4:00 AMT AMST Amazon 48# -5:00 ACT ACST Acre 49 50############################################################################### 51 52############################################################################### 53 54# Argentina 55 56# From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): 57# Argentina: first Sunday in October to first Sunday in April since 1976. 58# Double Summer time from 1969 to 1974.

Each issue from then until 384# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 385# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 386# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 387# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 388# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 389# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 390# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 391# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 392# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 393# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 394# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), 395# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do 396# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 397 398# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 399# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html"> 400# Brazilian official page 401# </a> 402 403# From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03): 404# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 405# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 406# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 407 408# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 409# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 410# 411# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 412# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 413# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 414# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 415# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 416# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 417# take place on October 27th. 418# 419# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 420# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 421# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 422# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 423# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 424 425# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 426# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 427# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 428# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 429 430# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10): 431# The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from 432# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html"> 433# Decretos sobre o Horario de Verao no Brasil 434# </a> (2001-09-20, in Portuguese). 435# The official site for all decrees, including those not related to time, is 436# <a href="http://www.presidencia.gov.br/CCIVIL/decreto/principal_ano.htm"> 437# Presidencia da Republica, Subchefia para Assuntos Juridicos, Decretos 438# </a> (in Portuguese). 439 440# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S 441# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV20466.htm">20,466</a> (1931-10-01) 442# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV21896.htm">21,896</a> (1932-01-10) 443Rule Brazil 1931 only -

Any list would be out of date as soon as 827# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th 828# and started again on September 12/13th.

I think that this does 834# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? 835# 836# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the 837# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there 838# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of 839# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes 840# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like 841# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. 842# 843# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and 844# which doesn't each year.
