The very last page of the Fed manual has tag-up responsibilities for when no one chases in 3-man. (Looking at the 16/17 Fed manual, page 54)

R1/R2: U1 has 1B, U3 has 2B.
R2/R3: U1 has 2B, U3 has 3B.
R1/R3: U1 has 1B, U3 has 3B.
Bases loaded: U1 has 1B & 2B, U3 has 3B.

I assume this is the same for ASA/USA, but I can't find an umpire manual right now, since they separated it from the rule book/"participant manual".

I checked the PDF version of the 2018 USA Umpire Manual that is on their website, and there is no tag-up responsibilities table for the different runner configurations. They do have a table for leaving base early.

Exactly, also 18/19 manual. When no one chases:
U1 has 2nd base tag with runner(s) at 2nd only, 2nd & 3rd, or bases loaded.
U3 has 2nd base tag only when with runner(s) 1st and 2nd and not 3rd.
U1 has all runners at 1st, U3 has all runners at 3rd
PU has no tag-ups

USA and NFHS mechanics are taught to be equivalent, so that applies to USA as well. Sorry I only looked at USA manual.
