March 10, 2007

Congress' passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 requires the start of Daylight Saving Time to begin on March 11, 2007, rather than April 1, 2007.  It will end Nov. 4, 2007.  The new start date is approximately three weeks earlier than past years.  In the European Union, DST (also know as "Summer Time") will begin March 25 and will end October 28.
