Through the end of 2006, the United States starts its Daylight Savings Time on the first Sunday in April (April 2, 2006), and changes back to standard time on the last Sunday in October. Beginning in 2007, it will start Daylight Savings Time on the second Sunday in March, and change back to standard time on the first Sunday in November. Under Section 110 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy is required to study the impact of the daylight saving extension no later than nine months after the change takes effect. Congress has retained the right to revert back to the daylight saving schedule set in 1986 if it cannot be shown that there are significant energy savings from an extension of daylight saving time.

So the US has not "sprung forward" yet so to speak? I'm in Germany and we set our clocks a hour earlier this past Sunday.

Thanks for posting this. I am looking forward to it. It will definitely help personal moods when the weather is cold in March and fall.

HC Daylight Savings Time in Atlanta SUCKS?
HC it seems like no matter what time of year it is, it is dark at 7 a.m.?
