You must be on a really old long distance plan!  Almost all plans now are flat rate no matter whether it's day, night or the weekend.  I *highly* suggest calling AT&T residential long distance customer service and ask them about other calling plans, or better yet, switch to a different long distance carrier.  A quick internet search yielded a company, ECG long distance, that will let you call for a mere 2.5 cents per minute 24/7.  

To answer your question, for domestic calls AT&T (a.k.a. SBC) defines peak and off-peak as follows:

"The peak rate period is 8:00 a.m. to but not

including 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. The off-peak rate

period is all other times. The off-peak rates apply on the following

holidays: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,

Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day."

The only active consumer long distance plan I see is the "ValueSaver" which is currently being grandfathered in by existing customers; meaning they don't sign any new customers up to this plan anymore.  It costs $5/mo, and the rates are 27 cents per minute peak and 17 cents per minute off-peak.  Rates and peak/off-peak times vary for international calls and are based on the country you're calling and the time zone they're in.  There's not really an online chart; this information is buried in carrier's tariff filings with each state's public utilities commission.  When these plans were active and commonplace a couple decades ago, a chart would appear in the first few pages of your phone book.
