The FED ruling is pretty consistent with OBR interpretation, as well. If a backswing interferes with a catcher's attempt to make a play, it's interference and the batter is out, runners return. If the backswing hits the catcher before he's secured the pitch and prevents him from even starting a play, it's weak interference and the runner is sent back, no out recorded. In the FED ruling you're citing, the catcher is making a play so the interference is penalized with an out.
