03/29/2007: "Associated Press Stylebook (AP Style) Update"

The editors of the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook announced an important update today.

daylight saving time


Not savings. No hyphen.
When linking the term with the name of a time zone, use only the word daylight: Eastern Daylight Time, Pacific Daylight Time, etc.
Lowercase daylight saving time in all uses and daylight time whenever it stands alone.

A federal law specifies that, starting in 2007, daylight time applies from 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of March until 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of November in areas that do not specifically exempt themselves.

See time zones.
