Daylight Saving Time rules will change beginning in the year 2007.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins each year at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April in most of the United States and its territories. Clocks must be moved ahead one hour when DST goes into effect. DST is not observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and the state of Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Indian Reservation, which does observe DST).

Standard Time begins each year at 2 a.m on the last Sunday of October. Move your clocks back one hour at the resumption of Standard Time. Daylight Saving Time and time zones are regulated by the U. S. Department of Transportation, and not by NIST.

On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which includes changes in Daylight Saving Time, effective March 1, 2007. Therefore:

In 2006, DST will begin at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of April (April 2, 2006) and Standard Time will begin at 2 a.m. on the last Sunday in October (October 29, 2006), as under the current rules.


However, beginning in 2007, DST will begin at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday in March (March 11, 2007) and Standard Time will begin at 2 a.m. on the first Sunday in November (November 4, 2007).
