=46rom http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/NTPRelatedDefinitions:
Leap Indicator
This is a two-bit code warning of an impending leap second to be
inserted in the NTP timescale. The bits are set before 23:59 on the
day of insertion and reset after 00:00 on the following day. This
causes the number of seconds (rollover interval) in the day of
insertion to be increased or decreased by one.=20
So the answer to your question is, AIUI, 2015-06-29 23:59:59.
