Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST :
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 of March and end the first 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.

JUSTIFICATION :
Couldn't find anything in the bug database on this so I thought it should be entered and documented that this will impact TimeZones

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Expect Timezones that support DST to behave correctly with the new rule changes beginning in 2007
ACTUAL -
Maybe its there, I haven't tested.  If so, toss this request.

Comments
