Did you mean 16.5, rather than 16.3?

As a matter of interest, why the TIMEVALUE(TEXT(A1,"hh:mm")) rather than
MOD(A2,1)? I had heard that there could be small errors with MOD, but I
thought that this needed very large numbers to cause the error?

try this

=IF(TIMEVALUE(TEXT(A1,"hh:mm"))16.3/24,TRUE,FALSE)

I am having trouble figuring out the correct formula and any help would be
greatly appreciated.

As far as I know the bug in MOD is that it will return the #NUM! error with
very large numbers and small divisors

I believe things like millionth of a decimal is basically nothing but the
regular floating point errors
