https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html#data-sources
starts with "The zoneinfo module does not directly provide time zone 
data, and instead pulls time zone information from the system time zone 
database or the first-party PyPI package tzdata, if available."
Somehow and for some reason, it is no longer getting the data. So I 
suggest reading the section to see if you can determine why. If 3.9.6 
is a separate installation from the 3.9.3, rather than an upgrade 
thereof, then maybe you need to install tzdata for the new installation.
Being on Windows, where this is not available, I cannot help further.
