That's because I can't find it.

All I've done is combine the throwin spot rule with the throwin coverage mechanic and and applied it to the timeout mechanic. It's not all in the timeout mechanic because the rest is already covered in existing rules/mechanics.
It says "Administering Official - throwin spot".
Just what does that mean? The official who'll be administering the throwin will go to the spot (maybe not "immediately" but after observing the players and/or reporting the timeout).
Now, who is that? Well, that is clearly covered in other parts of the mechanics manual and that hasn't changed in at least 15 years. I don't have it with me to quote but the spot of the throwin is determined by where the ball is when it becomes dead. Who administers the subsequent throwin is determined by that throwin spot....FC endline or lead's FC sideline is the lead's throwin, all else is the trail's.
Since the timeout procdure says nothing about changing who is responsible for administering throwins on the various lines, it remains as it would for any other stoppage.
