The clarification is poorly worded. The rule involves INT with a throw, but always has been INT with a defender's ability to receive a throw at 1B.

It states that the running lane switches to the fair side when the throw is coming from foul ground (1st base side). Seems to indicate that the conventional running lane no longer affords protection from INT in that case.

Again, poorly worded. Since the inception of the double base @ first and the BR's allowance to use the white base on certain occasions, the runner lane has been EXPANDED (not transferred) for 3' into the fair side of the baseline basically creating a 6' lane for the BR who may choose to use either base in those given occasions.
