18 18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
19 19 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
20 20 # of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,

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.

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 São 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 Brasília time" is considered the
42 -# "official time" because Brasília is the capital city.
43 -# The other three time zones are called "Brasília 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!

27 +# These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
28 +# integer hour and minute UTC offsets. Although earlier editions used
29 +# alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
30 +# invented and did not reflect common practice.

320 298 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
321 299 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
322 300 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
323 301 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
324 302 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
325 303 #
326 304 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
327 305 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
328 306 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
329 307 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
330 308 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
331 309 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
332 310 # mailed them personally and never got an answer).
333 311
334 312 # From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
335 313 # Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
336 314 # 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
337 315 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
338 316 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
339 317 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
340 318 # other 5 subregions.
341 319
342 320 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
343 321 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
344 322 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
345 323 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
346 324 #
347 325 # The press release is at
348 326 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
349 327 # (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
350 328 # is the official page for the Province Government.)
351 329 #
352 330 # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
353 331 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
354 332 #
355 333 # The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
356 334 # ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
357 335 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
358 336 #
359 337 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
360 338 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
361 339 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
362 340
363 341 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
364 342 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
365 343 #
366 344 # The Law at
367 345 # http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
368 346 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
369 347 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
370 348 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
371 349 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
372 350 #
373 351 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
374 352 #
375 353 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
376 354 # Sunday of October and March.

378 356 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
379 357 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
380 358 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
381 359 #
382 360 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
383 361 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
384 362 #
385 363 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
386 364 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
387 -#
388 -# I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
389 -# timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
390 -# right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
391 -# is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
392 -# of the country calls it "ART".

394 366

406 378 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
407 379 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
408 380 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
409 381 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
410 382 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
411 383
412 384 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
413 385 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
414 386 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
415 387 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,
416 388 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
417 389 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
418 390 # standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
419 391 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
420 392 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ

614 586
615 587 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
616 588 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
617 589 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
618 590 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
619 591 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
620 592 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
621 593
622 594 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
623 595 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
624 596 # Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
625 597 # Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
626 598 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
627 599 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
628 600
629 601 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
630 602 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
631 603 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
632 604 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
633 605 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
634 606 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
635 607 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
636 608 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
637 609 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
638 610 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
639 611 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
640 612 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
641 613 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
642 614 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
643 615 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
644 616 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
645 617 # Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
646 618 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

649 621 # Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html>
650 622
651 623 # From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03):

654 626 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
655 627
656 628 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
657 629 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
658 630 #
659 631 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
660 632 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
661 633 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
662 634 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
663 635 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
664 636 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
665 637 # take place on October 27th.
666 638 #
667 639 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
668 640 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
669 641 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
670 642 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
671 643 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
672 644
673 645 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
674 646 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
675 647 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
676 648 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
677 649
678 650 # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
679 651 # Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:
680 652 # http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975
681 653
682 654 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
683 655 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
684 656 # Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
685 657 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
686 658 #
687 659 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
688 660 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
689 661 # timezone UTC+4
690 662 # b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
691 663 # part of it, as was before.
692 664 #
693 665 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
694 666 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
695 667 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
696 668 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
697 669 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
698 670 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
699 671 # 1913.
700 672
701 673 # From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
702 674 # Just correcting the URL:
703 675 # https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
704 676 #
705 677 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
706 678 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
707 679 # be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
708 680 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
709 681 # important/populated city in the affected area.
710 682 #
711 683 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
712 684 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
713 685
714 686 # From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
715 687 # This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
716 688 # http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
717 689 #
718 690 # - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
719 691 # (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
720 692 # part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).
721 693
722 694 # From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10):
723 695 # The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from
724 696 # Decretos sobre o Horário de Verão no Brasil.
725 697 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html
726 698
727 699 # From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):
728 700 # As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
729 701 # yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
730 702 # it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
731 703 # past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
732 704 # the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

1097 1069 # From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1098 1070 # Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1099 1071 # 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1100 1072 # was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
1101 1073 # standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1102 1074 #
1103 1075 # Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1104 1076 # the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):

1121 1093 # Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
1122 1094 #
1123 1095 # - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
1124 1096 # Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
1125 1097 #
1126 1098 # - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
1127 1099 # 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
1128 1100 # Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
1129 1101 # Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
1130 1102 #
1131 1103 # - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
1132 1104 # Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
1133 1105 #
1134 1106 # - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
1135 1107 # at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
1136 1108 # go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
1137 1109 #
1138 1110 # Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
1139 1111 # wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
1140 1112 # the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
1141 1113 # says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
1142 1114 # 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
1143 1115 # respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
1144 1116 #
1145 1117 # Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
1146 1118 # Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
1147 1119 # Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
1148 1120 # this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and

1397 1408 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1398 1409 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1399 1410 # what was said then:
1400 1411 #
1401 1412 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1402 1413 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1403 1414 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1404 1415 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1405 1416 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1406 1417 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1407 1418 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1408 1419 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1409 1420 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1410 1421 # as UK or Chile."
1411 1422 #
1412 1423 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1413 1424 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1414 1425 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1415 1426 #
1416 1427 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1417 1428 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1418 1429 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1419 1430 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1420 1431 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1421 1432 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1422 1433 #
1423 1434 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1424 1435 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1425 1436 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
