It's official, the President signed a decree that includes Bahia in summer time. I did not find the decree yet but I am convinced now that the news reports the position of the president. I found nothing oficial about the 32 municipalities in Mato Grosso, I'm still looking and update when I find the decree. link whith the news: http://g1.globo.com/bahia/noticia/2011/10/dilma-assina-decreto-que-inclui-ba...

From Zulmira:
Dear Guilherme,
In accordance with Decree 6558 of Sept. 8, 2008, summer time [HV = horario de verão = DST] will take effect from 0:00 on Oct. 16, until 0:00 on Feb. 26, 2012. The states which will enter into summer time are RS, SC, PR, SP, RJ, ES, MG, MT, MS, and DF [Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Paraná, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Distrito Federal].
Thus, BA [Bahia] will not have summer time. I should clarify that summer time depends on a Federal Decree.

Guilherme's original message:
Good day, Zulmira,
I would like to confirm whether Bahia will have summer time this year? I would also like to know whether this depends on a federal decree? If the answer to both questions is yes, what is the specific decree in this case?
Thank you,
Guilherme Bernardes Rodrigues

Bom dia Zulmira,
Gostaria de confirmar, este ano a bahia terá horário de verão? Gostaria também de saber se isso não depende de um decreto federal? Se sim para as duas perguntas qual é o decreto a respeito disso.
Obrigado,
