What time zone is used for IAR submission deadlines?

• A. Eastern Time
• B. Central Time
• C. Pacific Time
• D. Mountain Time

Answer: (A)

Deadlines are anchored to a single reference to avoid confusion across time zones. For IAR submissions, that reference is Eastern Time. ARC operates in the Eastern Time zone, so all cutoffs are published in ET and anyone in a different zone must convert to ET to know the exact deadline. Eastern Time covers both EST and EDT, so the cutoff stays consistent year-round; just convert your local time to ET to determine the exact moment the submission is due. For example, ET is one hour ahead of Central Time, two hours ahead of Mountain, and three hours ahead of Pacific, with the offset shifting appropriately when daylight saving time is in effect.
