For a free kick after a fair catch - you handle just like a normal free kick. All the officials line up in their normal positions.

HOWEVER - this is a scoring kick, so........

The Referee lines up under the goal post - he has the good/no good decision.
The ball is not automatically dead when it breaks the plane of the goal line (because it is a scoring kick). It is dead if it is no good and breaks the plane.
R may return the kick as any other free kick.

Heads up - K can also onside kick!
