Right out of the government edition, page 260, Auxiliary and Planning Data,
18. Sun and Moon:

"The equation of time is given daily at 00h and 12h UT. The sign is positive
for unshaded values and negative for shaded values."

I don't have my commercial edition handy but that information should be in
there.
