Austin summer hrs.

Answer:

CDT

Hint:

This three-letter abbreviation is what you’d set your clock to in Texas when daylight saving is in effect, not during winter.

Explanation:

Austin is in Texas, which observes Central Daylight Time (CDT) during summer months. The clue hints at the time zone abbreviation used there when daylight saving is active. "Hrs." is short for "hours," signaling this is about time, not something else. So the answer is simply the three-letter code for that time zone.
