FED specifically says "one foot in fair is okay." So, in FED, if you see F3 with both feet in foul, stop play, and make him put one in fair. If you don't see F3 with both feet in foul then you can't enforce any penalty.

In OBR /interps, it says, "don't worry until one coach complains, then enforce for both" In OBR, both feet must be in fair territory.
