Sure is. Here's the relevent Olson rules[1]:

Rule    AV      1991    1994    -       Mar     Sun>=1  2:00s   0       -
Rule    AV      1995    2005    -       Mar     lastSun 2:00s   0       -
Rule    AV      2006    only    -       Apr     Sun>=1  2:00s   0       -
Rule    AV      2007    max     -       Mar     lastSun 2:00s   0       -


 From 1991 to 1994 we changed back on the Sunday that was 
greater-or-equal to the first of March

In 1995 until 2005 we moved it later and changed back on the last Sunday 
in March

In 2006 and only 2005, we're moving back on the Sunday that is 
greater-or-equal to the first of April

Then from 2007 onwards we're back to the last Sunday in March

Cheers!
