Below is the beginning of an FAA Advisory Circular that suggests
more places to look.

        Subject: USE OF PORTABLE ELECTRONIC 
        DEVICES ABOARD AIRCRAFT 
        Date: 10/02/00 
        AC No: 91.21-1A
        Initiated by: AFS-330 
        Change:
        _______________________________________
        1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular (AC) provides aircraft
        operators with information and guidance for assistance in
        compliance to Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
        (14 CFR) part 91, section 91.21. Section 91.21 was 
        established because of the potential for portable 
        electronic devices (PED) to interfere with aircraft 
        communications and navigation equipment. It prohibits the 
        operation of PED's aboard U.S.-registered civil aircraft, 
        operated by the holder of an air carrier operating 
        certificate, an operating certificate, or any other 
        aircraft while operating under instrument flight rules 
        (IFR). This rule permits use of specified PED's and other 
        devices that the operator of the aircraft has determined 
        will not interfere with the safe operation of the 
        aircraft in which it is operated. The recommendations 
        contained herein are one means, but not the only means, 
        of complying with section 91.21 requirements, pertaining 
        to the operation of PED's.
