BOT # Bolivia Time - -# Brazil - -# From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): -# The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules -# just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. -# The rule change lasted only part of the day; -# the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business -# was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. - -# From IATA SSIM (1996-02): -# _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), -# Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), -# Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO), -# Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. -# [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] - -# From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): -# Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other -# sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were -# always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... -# The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until -# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, -# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 -# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is -# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is -# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's -# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 -# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. -# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline -# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each -# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that -# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), -# Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do -# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. - -# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): -# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html"> -# Brazilian official page -# </a> - -# From Jesper Norgaard (2000-11-03): -# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] -# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm -# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm - -# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): -# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. -# -# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and -# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first -# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, -# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is -# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second -# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will -# take place on October 27th. -# -# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands -# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the -# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, -# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution -# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... - -# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): -# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly -# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal -# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. - -# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): -# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: -# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 - -# From Paul Eggert (2002-10-10): -# The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from -# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html"> -# Decretos sobre o Horario de Verao no Brasil -# </a>. - -# Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV20466.htm">20,466</a> (1931-10-01) -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV21896.htm">21,896</a> (1932-01-10) -Rule Brazil 1931 only - Oct 3 11:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1932 1933 - Apr 1 0:00 0 - -Rule Brazil 1932 only - Oct 3 0:00 1:00 S -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV23195.htm">23,195</a> (1933-10-10) -# revoked DST. -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV27496.htm">27,496</a> (1949-11-24) -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV27998.htm">27,998</a> (1950-04-13) -Rule Brazil 1949 1952 - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1950 only - Apr 16 1:00 0 - -Rule Brazil 1951 1952 - Apr 1 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV32308.htm">32,308</a> (1953-02-24) -Rule Brazil 1953 only - Mar 1 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV34724.htm">34,724</a> (1953-11-30) -# revoked DST. -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV52700.htm">52,700</a> (1963-10-18) -# established DST from 1963-10-23 00:00 to 1964-02-29 00:00 -# in SP, RJ, GB, MG, ES, due to the prolongation of the drought. -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV53071.htm">53,071</a> (1963-12-03) -# extended the above decree to all of the national territory on 12-09. -Rule Brazil 1963 only - Dec 9 0:00 1:00 S -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV53604.htm">53,604</a> (1964-02-25) -# extended summer time by one day to 1964-03-01 00:00 (start of school). -Rule Brazil 1964 only - Mar 1 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV55639.htm">55,639</a> (1965-01-27) -Rule Brazil 1965 only - Jan 31 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1965 only - Mar 31 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV57303.htm">57,303</a> (1965-11-22) -Rule Brazil 1965 only - Dec 1 0:00 1:00 S -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV57843.htm">57,843</a> (1966-02-18) -Rule Brazil 1966 1968 - Mar 1 0:00 0 - -Rule Brazil 1966 1967 - Nov 1 0:00 1:00 S -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV63429.htm">63,429</a> (1968-10-15) -# revoked DST. -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV91698.htm">91,698</a> (1985-09-27) -Rule Brazil 1985 only - Nov 2 0:00 1:00 S -# Decree 92,310 (1986-01-21) -# Decree 92,463 (1986-03-13) -Rule Brazil 1986 only - Mar 15 0:00 0 - -# Decree 93,316 (1986-10-01) -Rule Brazil 1986 only - Oct 25 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1987 only - Feb 14 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV94922.htm">94,922</a> (1987-09-22) -Rule Brazil 1987 only - Oct 25 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1988 only - Feb 7 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV96676.htm">96,676</a> (1988-09-12) -# except for the states of AC, AM, PA, RR, RO, and AP (then a territory) -Rule Brazil 1988 only - Oct 16 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1989 only - Jan 29 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV98077.htm">98,077</a> (1989-08-21) -# with the same exceptions -Rule Brazil 1989 only - Oct 15 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1990 only - Feb 11 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV99530.htm">99,530</a> (1990-09-17) -# adopted by RS, SC, PR, SP, RJ, ES, MG, GO, MS, DF. -# Decree 99,629 (1990-10-19) adds BA, MT. -Rule Brazil 1990 only - Oct 21 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1991 only - Feb 17 0:00 0 - -# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV1991.htm">Unnumbered decree</a> (1991-09-25) -# adopted by RS, SC, PR, SP, RJ, ES, MG, BA, GO, MT, MS, DF. -Rule Brazil 1991 only - Oct 20 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1992 only - Feb 9 0:00 0 - -# <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV1992.htm">Unnumbered decree</a> (1992-10-16) -# adopted by same states. -Rule Brazil 1992 only - Oct 25 0:00 1:00 S -Rule Brazil 1993 only - Jan 31 0:00 0 - -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV942.htm">942</a> (1993-09-28) -# adopted by same states, plus AM. -# Decree <a href="http://pcdsh01.on.br/HV1252.htm">1,252</a> (1994-09-22;
