Afaik, the FED promotes that. On the second page of most rule books, they insert the boilerplate language "Requests for (insert sport) rules interpretations or explanations should be directed to the state association responsible for the high school (insert sport) program in your state. The NFHS will assist in answering rules questions from state associations whenever called upon." The state-issued interpretations are supposed to be based solely on existing rules. The FED doesn't like you modifying or changing those existing rules though, so any interpretations issued should not do so.
That's my understanding.
