A team fair catches a scrimmage kick or free kick or takes an award FC as a result of a kick catching interference penalty.
They then have the option of putting the ball in play via a free kick or a snap.
If they choose a free kick, it's no different than the lineup for a kick off after a score.
The teams are 10 yards apart and the kicker can use any legal tee, just as he can for any other FGA or PAT.
Also, if a team were to fair catch the ball and have a defensive penalty on the 1st down play, they could accept the penalty and then exercise their option to free kick.
