What is the cut off for submitting a MOC order to the BATS exchange?

The BATS exchange cut off time is 15:55 EST to submit a Market-on-Close (MOC) or a Limit-on-Close (LOC) order for consideration to be included in the closing cross. MOC or LOC orders submitted after 15:55 EST can be rejected, and you would receive a message stating "On-close orders cannot be placed during or near the closing cross".
