Daylight Saving Time Begins Sunday, April 4, For Most Americans. Most of the
nation will return to daylight time at 2 a.m. Sunday, April 4, when clocks will
be set ahead one hour. The change will provide an additional hour of daylight in
the evening. Under law, daylight saving time is observed from the first Sunday
in April to the last Sunday in October, with the nation returning to standard
time starting Sunday, Oct. 31. Federal law does not require any area to observe
daylight time, but those that do must follow the starting and ending dates set
by the law. No resetting of clocks is required for those parts of the country
not observing daylight time: Arizona, Hawaii, the part of Indiana located in the
Eastern time zone, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the
Northern Marianas. Contact: Bill Mosley: (202) 366-4570.
