February 23, 2007		Daylight Saving Time Plan Beginning in 2007, most of the United States begins Daylight Saving Time at 2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March and reverts to standard time on the first Sunday in November. In the U.S., each time zone switches at a different time. Grants.gov's Hosting support will download a patch from Sun and apply the patch to each server. The patch should not require a reboot. But, if a reboot is required, the date will be manually altered on each production server if needed. The user should not be affected by this change.
