I try not to read the FED recommendations on positions. I would be in C with runner on 3B only, runners on 2nd and 3rd, runners on 1st and 2nd, and bases loaded. For runners on 1st and 3rd I would be in B, and I think the FED manual shows C for this situation and that's probably the main difference between FED and others (CCA and PBUC).
Some states put BU in C only when a steal of third is possible (i.e., R1,R2 or R2 only). Otherwise they put BU in B.

So, to the original question -- we (someone) can give the "pure FED" answer -- but that might not be what's used in your state / area.
