Daylight Saving Time Change

In an effort to conserve energy, the United States Congress passed the Energy Policy Act in 2005 which mandated that Daylight Saving Time be extended by four weeks beginning in March of 2007. DST dates in the United States will start three weeks earlier, at 2:00 A.M. on the second Sunday in March. DST will end one week later, at 2:00 A.M. on the first Sunday in November.

Who is Affected?

Users in the United States, Canada, and Mexico

What do I need to do be ready on March 11?

What do I do if my CSUMB computer, application, or device reports time incorrectly after March 11 or I find something else that is not working?
