This is a clear OBR reference, so how is there a "FED difference?"

In the JR play, the pitch was strike three. The BR isn't allowed to advance on the weak interference. So, BR is out, even though it was an uncaught third strike.
I agree with the others that (a) the ruling has been in FED "forever", and (b) it's different from OBR.
