In the past it has always been on the
FIRST SUNDAY of APRIL,..
not any particular DATE.
It has been changed to the
SECOND SUNDAY of MARCH
beginning this year on the 11th.

On August 8, 2005, President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act of 2005. This Act changed the time change dates for Daylight Saving Time in the U.S. Beginning in 2007, DST will begin on the second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. The Secretary of Energy will report the impact of this change to Congress. Congress retains the right to resume the 2005 Daylight Saving Time schedule once the Department of Energy study is complete.

Starts on the 11th of March. Three weeks earlier than before. They are saying that it will screw up some computers with time and date since they are programmed and used to the date being later.

It starts on the 11th. Normally it would've started in the beginning of April. But they are trying to make daylight savings time last longer.

By the way - it's daylight saving - (no s) time:
In 2006, daylight time begins on April 2 and ends on October 29.
In 2007, daylight time begins on March 11 and ends on November 4. [New law goes into effect.]
In 2008, daylight time begins on March 9 and ends on November 2.

Yes, it starts the 11th this year. And it is earlier this year than it has ever been.

In Europe starts last Sunday on March. In US I guess is in April. I'm not sure about it.
