I believe it does not.  I believe TIME LOCAL and TIME GMT do.
I believe STCKCONV and CONVTOD do not.  I am confident
that before TOD rolls over TIME will be using ETOD.

What I have against (E)TOD is that IEBCOPY got leap seconds wrong
until they resolved my APAR by converting to TIME.

And back to David's report on the OP's BIO.TXT.  That uses two
different leap year formulae.  Neither reports an error for 1900.0229.
Rexx DATE() reports an error (though not very lucidly).  The moral
is, "Trust the experts; don't RYO (as IEBCOPY once did)."
