Samoa DST postponed to 2010

[Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) [E]]

The Samoan DST act reads (in part): "A daylight saving period declared under subsection (1)(c) shall start and end at a specified time that is between midnight on a Saturday and 6 a.m. on a Sunday." Does anyone have information on the hours when Samoa plans to turns its clocks forward and back?

I'm wondering when the update below will be done in the tz database.  As 
of 2010b, the rule for Pacific/Apia is still  - 

Zone Pacific/Apia        12:33:04 -     LMT     1879 Jul  5
                        -11:26:56 -     LMT     1911
                        -11:30  -       SAMT    1950            # Samoa 
Time
                        -11:00  -       WST     2009 Oct 4
                        -11:00  1:00    WSDT    2010 Mar 28
