Part of Idaho south of the Salmon River is placed in the fourth time zone. That river runs east to west near 45 degrees 30 minutes latitude. Common carriers in that area may still operate on Pacific time.

This section has no lettered subsections. As part of dividing the country into time zones under sections 261 through 264 of this title, it places the part of Idaho that lies south of the Salmon River into the fourth time zone. The Salmon River is described as crossing Idaho from east to west near 45 degrees, 30 minutes latitude. As a proviso, the law lets common carriers — companies like railroads that transport the public — operating within that southern part of Idaho keep running on Pacific time instead of switching to the fourth zone's time.
