Sec.  71.2  Annual advancement of standard time.

    (a) The Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. 260a(a)), as amended, 
requires that the standard time of each State observing Daylight Saving 
Time shall be advanced 1 hour beginning at 2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday 
in April of each year and ending on the last Sunday in October. This 
advanced time shall be the standard time of each zone during such 
period. The Act authorizes any State to exempt itself from this 
requirement. States in two or more time zones may exempt the easternmost 
time zone portion from this requirement.
    (b) Section 3(b) of the Uniform Time Act of 1966 (15 U.S.C. 260a(b)) 
provides that ``it is the express intent of Congress * * * to supersede 
any and all laws of the States or political subdivisions thereof insofar 
as they may now or hereafter provide for advances in time or changeover 
dates different from those specified in [section 3(a) of that Act]'', 
which are those specified in paragraph (a) of this section.
