Federal legislation deals with time zone borders, not DST observance.
DST observance is a state (and Indian) matter. Only AZ and HI have
decided not to observe. Federal facilities located in those states
therefore do not observe DST. Everything from national parks to post
offices to federal polling places.
Indian nations are deemed to have similar authority - and that it
supersedes that of the state in which they are located. So on
reservation lands the Navajo decision to observe DST trumps the AZ
decision not to. Federal facilities inside the Navajo reservation
observe time per the Navajo authority instead of the AZ authority.
There are also exceptions to federal facilities deviating from
official local time. The only one I knew of before today was
Guadalupe Mountains National Park, which observes Mountain time
despite being mostly located in the Central time zone. Today I
learned of the Dangling Rope Marina exception.
