In which rule set and under what conditions, is a runner ruled out for batter interference?

Okay, I'll play.
Under NCAA rules, a runner is out for batter's interference if she attempts to score with fewer than two outs, and the batter hinders the play at the plate. With two outs, the batter is the one ruled out so that she doesn't lead off the next inning.
I don't believe that same ruling exists in FED or ASA. Under those sets, the batter would be out and the runner would be returned to third base.
Off the top of my head, I think that's the only situation where a batter interferes and a runner is ruled out.
