  • C:\PWO Projects\Clients\Time Zone Related\St. Joseph County Time
    A REPORT ON THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION’S RESPONSE TO SAINT JOSEPH COUNTY, INDIANA’S 2005 TIME ZONE PETITION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE TIME ZONE 3 November 2010 A. INTRODUCTION The Advisory Committee on the Time Zone for St. Joseph County has been asked to consider possible courses of action open to prospective proponents of Central Time for the region surrounding and including St. Joseph County, Indiana. As part of our response we have prepared this report as a primer on time law, Congressional time policy, and the methodology employed by the Department of Transportation (DOT or Department) in time line location proceedings. From our review of time zone boundary decisions and the history of time keeping in the United States we have concluded that the Department initially employed an ad hoc approach to petitions for changes in time zones originating from Indiana in 2005 and persisted in this ad hoc approach with respect to St. Joseph and Marshall counties through the conclusion of the 2005 process. This approach was inconsistent with the seeming focus of the DOT “Procedure for Moving an Area from one Time Zone to Another” (the “Procedure”).1 The inconsistencies emphasized procedure over substance and likely flowed from Indiana’s reputation for time zone controversy and from St. Joseph County’s pivotal political and geographic position. The DOT may be tempted to repeat this approach should a renewed petition originate from St. Joseph County. We also concluded that the Procedure is legally problematic. The bases for, and ramifications of, our conclusions are explored in depth in this report.
