This applies only to Part 121 operators: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2013/01/15/2013-00608/prohibition-on-personal-use-of-electronic-devices-on-the-flight-deck#h-8
Then this whole entire thing is redundant, as the FAA already made changes to address this after the NWA123 incident 3 years ago.

FAA Proposes Stronger 'Sterile Cockpit' Rule
Would Ban Use Of Personal Electronic Devices By Pilots In Flight
While the FAA has long had a "Sterile Cockpit Rule" that prohibits pilots from using personal electronic devices during "critical phases" of flight, pilots may soon be banned from using their personal tablets, smartphones, and laptops for anything other than flying the plane or safety reasons under a new proposed rule.
