I'm not sure what the FED case book says but the BRD states:
287 Interference by: Catcher: Definition
FED: Catcher obstruction (interference) occurs when the catcher: (1) touches the batter's bat; (2) pushes the batter to reach the pitch; or (3) steps on or across home plate to reach the pitch (8.3.1c)
