For example, in a state adopting standard time in the Pacific time zone, the Bias is 480 minutes and StandardBias is 0 minutes. To determine the time in UTC for June 11, 2 A.M. PST, add a Bias of (480/60) hours and a StandardBias of 0 hours to the local time June 11, 2 A.M. The time in UTC is June 11, 10 A.M.
