Yes 1500 is 9 hrs prior which is great when your off day ends at midnight.
But the same requirement to make yourself aware of anything placed on your schedule also applies when coming off of 30hrs of rest as well as PR (partial payback) days, which 99.9999% of the time end at sometime other than midnight, so your 9hr prior time could be 0230, or 2159.
You are correct. Most people know it as the 1500 rule. But you are right, it's 9 hours prior to the beginning of an on-call period.
