If you're still asking about NFHS/USA, neither mentions in their umpire manuals what happens with a fly ball in the outfield when nobody chases. The expectation is that someone always chases. The non-chasing umpire has R1, and the PU has R2.
The NCAA's CCA manual states that U1 has tag-up responsibility of both R1 and R2.
