[time-nuts] Do any regulations or laws require time to be accurate within 'x' seconds?

All computer system clocks and mechanical time stamping devices must be 
synchronized to within three seconds of the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology (NIST) atomic clock. Any time provider may be used for 
synchronization, however, all clocks and time stamping devices must remain 
accurate within a three-second tolerance of the NIST clock.
