Of course; even though RFC-977 was written long before anyone mentioned
the idea of Y2K problems, it still considered the subject, and provided
instructions as to how the yy part of the date should be interpreted.

BTW, the above is ONLY correct if your "TZ" is GMT; the NEWNEWS command
should either be issued without a timezone indication, in which case the
time is interpreted as that local to the server, or with GMT.  Sticking
to the latter throughout all such transactions is the best course of
action.
