Confusing, but from the rule book:
Play shall be resumed promptly following each intermission upon the expiration of fifteen minutes and thirty seconds (15:30) (or seventeen (17) minutes for nationally televised games) or a length of time designated by the League from the completion of play in the preceding period. Timing of the intermission commences immediately upon conclusion of the period. (See Rule 40(b) -- Game Timekeeper.) Preliminary warnings shall be given by the Game Timekeeper to the Officials and to both Teams five (5) minutes and two (2) minutes prior to the resumption of play in each period and the final warning shall be given one (1) minute prior to the resumption of play to enable the Teams to start play promptly.
