https://www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list
Just checked this file and it expires on 28 December 2016.

service ntpd fetch downloads the same file as the base system has to 
begin with.

I manually edited /var/db/ntpd.leap-seconds.list with the values from
www.ietf.org/timezones/data/leap-seconds.list and did a
service ntpd restart and the expire message did not show.
