About Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
Eastern Daylight Time (EDT, IANA: America/New_York during DST window) is the summer-time variant of EST, set at UTC-4:00 — observed from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November per the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. EDT shares the same UTC offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST — observed year-round in Canadian Maritimes Nova Scotia/New Brunswick/PEI and in Caribbean Puerto Rico/USVI/Bermuda) and as Bolivia/Chile/Paraguay Standard Time. The 'spring forward' transition at 02:00 EDT in March is the largest single coordinated time change in human history, affecting ~150 million US East Coast residents simultaneously per US Census. Florida passed the Sunshine Protection Act in 2018 attempting to stay on EDT year-round, but it required US Congressional approval (US Code 15 §260a) which has not been granted as of 2024. EDT affects: US Federal Government tax-filing deadlines (IRS Form 1040 due 23:59 EDT on April 15), NFL Sunday Night Football scheduling, and US Supreme Court oral-argument schedules in DC.
About Venezuela Time (VET)
Venezuela Time (VET, IANA: America/Caracas) is the official civil time of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, set at UTC-4:00 year-round. Venezuela abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago and the country has had a complicated time-zone history — in 2007 President Hugo Chávez moved Venezuela from UTC-4:00 to UTC-4:30 (a 30-minute offset, citing benefits to schoolchildren's morning light), then in 2016 President Nicolás Maduro reverted the country back to UTC-4:00 (citing energy crisis and need to better coordinate with regional neighbors). VET serves approximately 28 million people across Venezuela's 23 states + Federal District + Federal Dependencies. Major cities: Caracas (3M city, 5M metro — capital), Maracaibo (2.3M), Valencia (1.4M), Barquisimeto (1.1M), Ciudad Guayana (900K). VET is the same offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST), making coordination with Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda, and Canadian Maritime provinces in winter relatively straightforward. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Caracas (BVC) operations, PDVSA petroleum-export shipping schedules, and Angel Falls tourism in Canaima National Park.
