Unhappy PKS brain freeze

I'm currently having a brain freeze for PSK items. I've looked in the books and can't find the spot that deals with PSK and its fouls. Probably lack of sleep is the issue, but could someone give me the rule number, please?

Post-scrimmage kick — a foul by R (other than illegal substitution or participation)
when the foul occurs:
1. During scrimmage kick plays, other than a try or successful field goal.
2. During a scrimmage kick play in which the ball crosses the expanded
neutral zone.
3. Beyond the expanded neutral zone.
4. Before the end of a kick.
5. And K will not be next to put the ball in play.

Basic spot: 10-4-3
The basic spot is the spot where the kick ends when R commits a
post-scrimmage kick foul (2-16-2h). R fouls behind the post-scrimmage kick
spot are spot fouls.

All but one applies to PSK: 2-41-6
The post-scrimmage kick spot is the spot where the kick ends. R
retains the ball after penalty enforcement from the post-scrimmage kick spot
when a post-scrimmage foul occurs. Fouls by R behind the post-scrimmage kick
spot are spot fouls.

Excellent! Thanks. I was looking at rule 2 but didn't go toward the front of the book far enough since I was thinking that it would be under scrimmage kicks and not fouls.

For those reading the RTP enforcement spot thread:

Notice how condition #2 is written in the indefinite present, conditional tense, "crosses", rather than "crossed", or even worse "has crossed", which would have raised the question of when that had to have occurred in relation to the foul.

When PSK fouls were first introduced in NF, the foul by R had to occur during the kick. They changed it so that the foul can occur at any time leading up to and including the kick.

The result is that on a punt/pass option play, if B commits illegal use of hands on A1 downfield, and A2, not realizing that's why the potential receiver isn't where he expects, punts the ball instead of passing, team A gets screwed out of the right to repeat the down, or maybe a first down.

I agree, but that is the rule. Look at Case 10.4.3G. Almost identical to what you are saying (except with a hold down field).

As a BJ during the initial wording (PSK only during the kick), it was difficult to determine sometimes if the foul occured prior to the kick or during the kick. The current wording makes it much easier to officiate.

Guy above did much better job than I could have done.

But the case book in rule 10 has some plays. 10.2.1 Situation D then over to 10.4.3 many plays.
