Doesn't the first proposal have the problem that there is no 2:59:59 EST, the Eastern zone having changed to DST? ++PLS -----Original Message----- From: tz-request(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov [mailto:tz-request@elsie.nci.nih.gov] On Behalf Of Paul Eggert Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 10:56 PM To: Judith S. Kaleta Cc: Time zone mailing list Subject: off-by-one-hour error in OST Docket No. 2005-22114 Judith S. Kaleta Office of the General Counsel US Dept. of Transportation Room 10428 400 Seventh St Washington, DC 20590 Dear Ms. Kaleta: I help maintain the public-domain tz database of time zone and daylight saving time transitions. This database contains code and data that represent the history of local time, and is used by many computers around the world. For details, please see <http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm>. Needless to say, we've been following the Indiana situation with interest. Deborah Goldsmith of Apple Computer, one of our correspondents, recently noted what appears to be a one-hour error in docket OST-2005-22114 <http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf95/382329_web.pdf>. Quoting from the first page of that document: DATES: The effective date of this rule is 2:00 a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time. This cannot be exactly what was intended, because 2:00 a.m. EST corresponds to 1:00 a.m. CST, at which point clocks in the Central time zone will not spring forward for another hour. Therefore, as written, the rule requires that a clock in the affected area must jump backwards from 02:00 EST to 01:00 CST, and then an hour later jump ahead from 02:00 CST to 03:00 CDT. In other words, the currently-required clock transitions would look like this: 01:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 01:00:00 CST ... ... ... and then, one hour later,... 01:59:59 CST ... and then, one second later,... 03:00:00 CDT We doubt whether you really intended that the citizens of Vincennes, Indiana should stay up in the middle of the night and change their clocks twice. Our correspondents have suggested two different ways out of this problem. First, and perhaps simplest, you could change the effective time of the rule from 2:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 a.m. EST. This will result in the following transition: 02:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 03:00:00 CDT Second, if you prefer sticking to a 2:00 a.m. transition, you could append the following sentences: Counties that move from the Eastern to the Central Time Zone will switch directly from EST to CDT, so that their clocks need not change. From 2:00 a.m. CDT to 3:00 a.m. CDT these clocks will use CDT even though the rest of the Central Time Zone will still be using CST. This would result in the following transition: 01:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 02:00:00 CDT Please let us know which solution (if any) you prefer, by writing to us in the time zone mailing list <tz(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov>.

PLS> Doesn't the first proposal have the problem that there is no 2:59:59 EST, the Eastern zone having changed to DST? It really just requires the same caveat as the second one--that they will be on EST even with the rest of the Eastern zone having adopted EDT, for that one hour. [snipping down to the proposals...] Our correspondents have suggested two different ways out of this problem. First, and perhaps simplest, you could change the effective time of the rule from 2:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 a.m. EST.

"First, Shanks says Vincennes and Indianapolis differed in many ways before 1964. For example, he says Vincennes observed DST in 1946 and from 1956 through 1963. I assume you merely copied Indianpolis's table to Vincennes for time stamps until now, which wouldn't be quite right." Correct. I bow to your superior research on that point. Second: "> In addition to the section above, the new zone will need to be added > to the zone.tab file. Vincennes' location is > +384042-0873058. My proposed patch had +384038-0873143 which is fairly close. (The LMT figures also diverged, presumably because of the coordinate difference.) My latitude and longitude are from Shanks." My figures come from the Census Bureau (with LMT computed from them, so that probably does explain the difference). "I'm not sure how Shanks (or anyone else) decides where Vincennes "is", given that one arc second of latitude is only 31 meters or so." The Census Bureau indicates that its figures are based on the approximate geographic center of the area, provided that point is actually in the area.

Since they, like Starke County, do so at the time change, they will simply skip the spring-forward--2:00 EST and 2:00 CDT are identical (both equal 21:00 UTC on the previous day).

Instead, it merges the > transitions in the common-sense way. A hunt in the archives shows that Paul's vague recollection is correct. Historically there have been places that went through the same transition that's about to happen in Knox; these places have done it without changing their wall clocks. Zic is set up to recognize the situation and "do the right thing;" given DOT's docket, the right way may not be DOT's way. For those on deadlines: to get DOT-mandated behavior, one ugly possibility is to lie by a second: instead of having a Zone such as...

off-by-one-hour error in OST Docket No. 2005-22114

Judith S. Kaleta Office of the General Counsel US Dept. of Transportation Room 10428 400 Seventh St Washington, DC 20590 Dear Ms. Kaleta: I help maintain the public-domain tz database of time zone and daylight saving time transitions. This database contains code and data that represent the history of local time, and is used by many computers around the world. For details, please see <http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm>. Needless to say, we've been following the Indiana situation with interest. Deborah Goldsmith of Apple Computer, one of our correspondents, recently noted what appears to be a one-hour error in docket OST-2005-22114 <http://dmses.dot.gov/docimages/pdf95/382329_web.pdf>. Quoting from the first page of that document: DATES: The effective date of this rule is 2:00 a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time. This cannot be exactly what was intended, because 2:00 a.m. EST corresponds to 1:00 a.m. CST, at which point clocks in the Central time zone will not spring forward for another hour. Therefore, as written, the rule requires that a clock in the affected area must jump backwards from 02:00 EST to 01:00 CST, and then an hour later jump ahead from 02:00 CST to 03:00 CDT. In other words, the currently-required clock transitions would look like this: 01:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 01:00:00 CST ... ... ... and then, one hour later,... 01:59:59 CST ... and then, one second later,... 03:00:00 CDT We doubt whether you really intended that the citizens of Vincennes, Indiana should stay up in the middle of the night and change their clocks twice. Our correspondents have suggested two different ways out of this problem. First, and perhaps simplest, you could change the effective time of the rule from 2:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 a.m. EST. This will result in the following transition: 02:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 03:00:00 CDT Second, if you prefer sticking to a 2:00 a.m. transition, you could append the following sentences: Counties that move from the Eastern to the Central Time Zone will switch directly from EST to CDT, so that their clocks need not change. From 2:00 a.m. CDT to 3:00 a.m. CDT these clocks will use CDT even though the rest of the Central Time Zone will still be using CST. This would result in the following transition: 01:59:59 EST ... and then, one second later,... 02:00:00 CDT Please let us know which solution (if any) you prefer, by writing to us in the time zone mailing list <tz(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov>.

I am inclined to think you should implement the letter of the law rather than guessing what DOT "really" meant. Either that or ask DOT for clarification. I hate to say it, but I've been involved in similar things that became a legal issue and the difference can matter. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the deadline. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but I'd ask. ++PLS -----Original Message----- From: tz-request(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov [mailto:tz-request@elsie.nci.nih.gov] On Behalf Of Deborah Goldsmith Sent: Friday, January 20, 2006 7:08 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: proposed tz patches for Indiana, New Brunswick, Gaza, etc. On Jan 20, 2006, at 2:59 PM, Paul Eggert wrote: > + -5:00 - EST 2006 Apr 2 2:00 > + -6:00 US C%sT For all the Indiana counties that are switching from ET to CT, shouldn't this be: + -5:00 - EST 2006 Apr 2 2:00 + -5:00 - CDT 2006 Apr 2 3:00 + -6:00 US C%sT so that the time will proceed smoothly from 1:59:59 AM EST to 2:00:00 AM CDT, as proposed by Paul Eggert?

Probably I'm missing something, but why "2:00 AM CST to 1:00 AM CDT". In the spring, 1:59:59 is followed 1 second later by 3:00:00 CDT. I don't understand why you have it in the other direction. ++PLS -----Original Message----- From: tz-request(a)elsie.nci.nih.gov [mailto:tz-request@elsie.nci.nih.gov] On Behalf Of Deborah Goldsmith Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 7:12 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Re: DOT issues final ruling on Indiana time zones You're right, that should have been "fall back from 2:00 AM EST to 1:00 AM CST, then again from 2:00 AM CST to 1:00 AM CDT". Sorry about that. From the final DOT ruling (posted earlier) it appears as though that is in fact the correct behavior, too, as odd as it is.

Indiana time zones
by Andy Lipscomb Jan. 20, 2006

Jan. 20, 2006

Actually, there are seven other counties that are moving from Eastern to Central time. Since they, like Starke County, do so at the time change, they will simply skip the spring-forward--2:00 EST and 2:00 CDT are identical (both equal 21:00 UTC on the previous day). It appears to me that this requires creating a new zone for the other seven counties, which I show below. # From J. Andrew Lipscomb (2006-01-20): # Department of Transportation ruling http://www.dot.gov/affairs/dot0406.htm # adds eight new counties to the Central (America/Chicago) zone. Six are in # the Evansville area, two near Chicago. One of them (Starke) already has its # own entry; as for the other seven, the largest city in them (and an old # territorial capital) is Vincennes. I suggest that for the exemplar city of # the seven counties. # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone America/Indiana/Vincennes -5:50:04 - LMT 1883 Nov 18 12:09:56 -6:00 US C%sT 1920 -6:00 Indianapolis C%sT 1942 -6:00 US C%sT 1946 -6:00 Indianapolis C%sT 1955 Apr 24 2:00 -5:00 - EST 1957 Sep 29 2:00 -6:00 - CST 1958 Apr 27 2:00 -5:00 - EST 1969 -5:00 US E%sT 1971 -5:00 - EST 2006 Apr 2 2:00 -6:00 US C%sT In addition to the section above, the new zone will need to be added to the zone.tab file. Vincennes' location is +384042-0873058. And to cover Starke County: # From J.

DOT issues final ruling on Indiana time zones
by Deborah Goldsmith Jan. 19, 2006

Jan. 19, 2006

The DOT final ruling on Indiana came out today: http://www.dot.gov/affairs/dot0406.htm Based on my reading of this document, only one zone in tzdata is affected, America/Indiana/Knox. That zone will start observing US Central Time starting April 2, 2006, at the time of the switchover to Daylight Savings Time. Probably the easiest thing to do is to change the last two lines as follows: From: -5:00 - EST 2006 -5:00 US E%sT to: -5:00 - EST 2006 Apr 2 2:00 -5:00 US C%sT assuming I'm interpreting everything correctly. The DOT doesn't specify whether Starke county switch to Central Time at the appropriate time for its old or new time zone, but I'm assuming the old here. That leads to it falling back from 2:00AM EST to 1:00AM CST, and then again from 2:00AM CST to 1:00AM CST. If that makes people nervous, then the transition would need to be at 3:00 AM.

latest proposed 64-bit changes
by Arthur David Olson Jan. 19, 2006

Jan. 19, 2006

Here's the latest version of proposed changes to the time zone package to cope with 64-bit time values. As usual, these are differences from the stuff that's available at ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tz{code,data}2005r.tar.gz. I ran the package before and after these changes through the zgress wringer that I sent out on Tuesday; here on elsie (a 32-bit system) I get the same results from a zdump of all the binary data files whether I use the before or after zdump and whether I use the before or after data files. For those who missed earlier rounds: the "new" version of zic generates a three-part binary file; the file starts off with "Tzif2" (rather than the old "Tzif\0"). The first part (other than the change in the magic "Tzif" string) is identical in format to the existing time zone binary files. The second part has the same format except that 64 bits are stored for each time value (rather than the old 32 bits). The third part is a newline-enclosed POSIX-format time zone string (such as "EST5EDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0") if the future of the zone can be represented with such a string, or a newline-enclosed null string otherwise. If a zone's future can't be represented by a POSIX string, the new zic generates 400 years worth of 64-bit time transition information; the stuff in "localtime.c" sees if there's 400 years worth of regularity at the end of the data and, if so, does its work modulo 400 to extend the data into the very far future. Given the magnitude of these changes I'll wait a while for feedback; since these changes have already been around the block a couple of times and since they pass the regression test, I won't wait too long. Absent negative feedback, expect the changes to show up in the ftp version on Presidents' Day (2006-02-20). The changes below also reflect Roland McGrath's scheck suggestions. --ado *** tzftp/tzfile.5 Thu Dec 22 09:31:16 2005 --- tzexp3/tzfile.5 Tue Jan 17 14:42:56 2006 *************** *** 9,15 **** .IR tzset (3) begin with the magic characters "TZif" to identify then as time zone information files, ! followed by sixteen bytes reserved for future use, followed by six four-byte values of type .BR long , written in a ``standard'' byte order --- 9,17 ---- .IR tzset (3) begin with the magic characters "TZif" to identify then as time zone information files, ! followed by a character identifying the version of the file's format !

The DOT doesn't specify whether Starke county switch to Central Time at the appropriate time for its old or new time zone, but I'm assuming the old here. That leads to it falling back from 2:00AM EST to 1:00AM CST, and then again from 2:00AM CST to 1:00AM CST. If that makes people nervous, then the transition would need to be at 3:00 AM.

I was just looking at the tzdata file for the entry for the Navajo Nation. I'm curious why this entry is named America/Shiprock when the capitol of the Navajo Nation is Window Rock. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks, ++PLS

In the UK, the first of these would be "section 1 of chapter 7 of the laws of 1965"; chapter 7 is, in turn, the 7th Public Act passed in that year. Since the cited work says "This Act is consolidated to <date>", I presume it's a publication that applies all the various amending Acts up to that date. Hmm; 2005 c.7 is "An Act Respecting Rural Communities" <http://www.gnb.ca/0062/acts/BBA-2005/Chap-7.pdf>. Section 83 is titled "Time Definition Act" and, found on page 123, reads: 83 Subsection 1(1) of the French version of the Time Definition Act, chapter T-6 of the Revised Statutes, 1973, is amended by striking out "municipal". It looks to me as if your original document cites all the bits of legislation you need to look up to determine the changes. Hmm, on second thoughts, if one change cancels a previous one, the previous one might not be shown. Sorry. -- Clive D.W.

Leap seconds in the news
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Dec. 27, 2005

Dec. 27, 2005

The Washington Post's Monday, December 26, 2005 edition includes, on page A17, the story "Added Ticktock of the Clock Restarts Time Debate." The story is precipitated by the upcoming leap second. (My guess is that author Guy Gugliotta wrote it well in advance rather than on Christmas Day.) The story is available from http://washingtonpost.com; free registration is required. --ado

Tzcode2005r.tar.gz and tzdata2005r.tar.gz
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E] Dec. 27, 2005

The files... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzcode2005r.tar.gz ...and... ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata2005r.tar.gz ...are now available. Most importantly, these reflect the Canadian changes circulated last week on the time zone mailing list by Paul Eggert. They also add "<pre>" directives to time zone data files and reflect changes to warning message logic in "zdump.c" (but with calls to "gettext" kept unbundled at the suggestion of Ken Pizzini). With providence, that's it for 2005! --ado

New Brunswick switches at 00:01, not 02:00; new Zone needed
by Paul Eggert Dec. 21, 2005

Dec. 21, 2005

I found a copy of New Brunswick's Time Definition Act consolidated to 2005-07-15 <http://www.gnb.ca/0062/PDF-acts/t-06.pdf> and it confirms that New Brunswick switches to and from DST at 00:01 rather than 02:00. So we need a new Zone. I am thinking of using the name America/Moncton. Moncton has approximately the same population as Saint John, but the latter name is uncomfortably close to the already-existing Zone America/St_Johns. Page 2 of the above reference says "1965, c.7, s.1; 1973, c.74, s.75; 1993, c.9, s.1; 2005, c.7, s.83." I assume this refers to dates when the law changed, which would be useful for tracking down the history of America/Moncton. I did track down an older version of the consolidated document <http://www.canlii.org/nb/laws/sta/t-6/20030127/whole.html> which makes it clear that they haven't changed the rules since 1993 at least, but I can't go earlier than that in the canlii.org database. For dates before 1993 I'll probably defer to Shanks, unless someone else can track it down.

Manitoba, Ontario, P.E.I., Quebec adopt 2007 US DST change
by Paul Eggert Dec. 21, 2005

Dec. 21, 2005

I looked around for news reports of the effect on the US's 2007 daylight-saving plans on Canada, and found reports that Manitoba, Ontario, P.E.I., and Quebec are committed to switching, and other provinces are thinking of switching. My assumption is that all of Canada (save perhaps Newfoundland) will switch, but that it's too early to regard this as official. One problem is how to reflect this in the tz database. I'm inclined to propose something along the following lines, at least for now, to keep the tables simple; we should be able to fix things before 2007 if some of the provinces decline to follow the US lead. Please see the changes in commentary below to see what provinces would be affected. =================================================================== RCS file: RCS/northamerica,v retrieving revision 2005.15.1.3 diff -pu -r2005.15.1.3 northamerica --- northamerica 2005/12/20 15:04:00 2005.15.1.3 +++ northamerica 2005/12/21 21:00:48 @@ -820,18 +820,37 @@ Zone America/Menominee -5:50:27 - LMT 18 # Unless otherwise specified, the data for Canada are all from Shanks. -# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02): +# From Paul Eggert (2005-12-21): # H.
