There is absolutely mention of First Class in the rule. Just says provide a seat.
The 2nd is a bit ambiguous. But it appears to say that only on-duty FAMs are given seats no matter what. But again, absolutely no mention of First-Class.
Can anyone find a rule requiring first-class?

"(d) Each aircraft operator must assign the specific seat requested by a Federal Air Marshal who is on duty status. If another LEO is assigned to that seat or requests that seat, the aircraft operator must inform the Federal Air Marshal. The Federal Air Marshal will coordinate seat assignments with the other LEO."
This entire issue should also have been kind of obvious as the carriers are not going to be burning Int C/F seats for no reason.
