Beginning in
2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at
2:00 a.m. on the
second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first
Sunday in
November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different
time.
Date change in 2007 On August
8, 2005,
President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
This Act changed
the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S.
Beginning in 2007,
DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first
Sunday in
November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this
change to
Congress.
Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time
schedule once
the Department of Energy study is complete.
When in the morning? In the
U.S., clocks
change at 2:00 a.m. local time. In spring, clocks spring forward
from 1:59 a.m.
to 3:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m. to 1:00
a.m. In the EU,
clocks change at 1:00 a.m. Universal Time. In spring, clocks
spring forward from
12:59 a.m. to 2:00 a.m.; in fall, clocks fall back from 1:59 a.m.
to 1:00 a.m.
In the U.S., 2:00 a.m. was originally chosen as the changeover
time because it
was practical and minimized disruption. Most people were at home
and this was
the
time when the fewest trains were running. It is late enough to
minimally affect
bars and restaurants, and it prevents the day from switching to
yesterday, which
would be confusing. It is early enough that the entire continental
U.S. switches
by daybreak, and the changeover occurs before most early shift
workers and early
churchgoers are affected.
For the U.S. and its
territories, Daylight
Saving Time is NOT observed in Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam,
Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and
Arizona. The
Navajo Nation participates in the Daylight Saving Time policy,
even in Arizona,
due to its large size and location in three states.
