DAYLIGHT
SAVING TIME
DST
Daylight
saving time began in the United States primarily to save energy/fuel by
reducing the need to use artificial lighting.
Daylight Saving Time is also called "summer time". It is a
method of advancing clocks in a global manner, in order to artificially
expand the daylight hours.
Clocks are set forward one hour in late March
or in early April and are set back one hour in late September or in early
October. Many fire departments encourage people to change
the battery in the smoke detector when
they change their clocks, because it can be so easy to forget otherwise.
The Uniform Time
Act, enacted by the U.S. Congress in 1966, established a system of uniform
(within each time zone) daylight saving time throughout the U.S. and its
possessions, exempting only those states in which the legislatures voted
to keep the entire state on standard time. Under legislation enacted in
1986, daylight saving time in the USA
NEW INFO

Sunday of November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this
change to Congress. Congress retains the right to revert the Daylight
Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedule once the Department of Energy
study is complete.
