According to http://www.garant.ru/hotlaw/federal/346568/
"7-я часовая зона - московское время плюс 6 часов. .... Булунский ...."

whole Bulunskij is in MSK+6.

Sources for the borders of Bulunskij:

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%90%D0%B4%D0%BC%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B5_%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%A0%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BF%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%A1%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B0

or English
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_the_Sakha_Republic

both use the same map which shows Bulunskij as including the New
Siberian Islands.

According to
http://efele.net/maps/tz/russia/ 2011b
the area shown as Bulunskij in Wikipedia is separated
between Asia/Yakutsk MSK+6 and
Asia/Vladivostok MSK+7.

If that is true the change includes for Bulunskij only the island part.

That's why I proposed
NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (parts), Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky

which I would change to

NEW Asia/Khandyga containing Bulunsky (only New Siberian Islands),
Tomponsky, Ust-Maysky

But this might be wrong, my assumption of current zone borders was
only based on the efele map.

I will forward this to Eric Muller who is the efele.net owner.

In the file "europe" I see no indication that the raion is currently
observing two offsets.
