The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is +# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is +# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's +# become part of the state of Pernambuco).

For each +# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM.
