That's part of the timezone definition, and not something you normally
need to worry about.

If you're curious, please read the documentation on the VTIMEZONE
property in the iCalendar specification for more details:

http://www.kanzaki.com/docs/ical/vtimezone.html

Specifically:

'The mandatory "TZOFFSETFROM" property gives the UTC offset which is
in use when the onset of this time zone observance begins.
"TZOFFSETFROM" is combined with "DTSTART" to define the effective
onset for the time zone sub-component definition. For example, the
following represents the time at which the observance of Standard Time
took effect in Fall 1967 for New York City:

DTSTART:19671029T020000

TZOFFSETFROM:-0400

The mandatory "TZOFFSETTO " property gives the UTC offset for the time
zone sub-component (Standard Time or Daylight Saving Time) when this
observance is in use.'
