You might want to rephrase that as a trivia question: WHERE under
U.S. jurisdiction is UTC (no offset) the legal, civil time?

Interesting answer. According to a "highly authoritative
source" (Yahoo! ) http://ask.yahoo.com/20050302.html both poles
"officially" are at UTC (says who?), but the South Pole station
actually uses the time zone of Christchurch, New Zealand (UTC+12).
This source also says, "people who work at or near the poles don't
really live by UTC -- they often use the time zones of their nearest
coworkers."
You're on the right track, and may or may not be correct, but this is
not what I had in mind.
And the answer would have been, during the time where POSIX was a
government requirement: In all the computers.
Ugh! Since when do computer specs determine legal, civil time?
Or in USAF bases in the UK during the winter.
It's been reported here that legal, civil time in the UK is UT1 -- or
some other form of UT. In any event, military bases are subject to
military law, not necessarily civil law. That's not what I had in mind.
