FAA FTL rules

...not applicable to cargo operations. Looking at the source document, Foreign Applicability is not well defined from what I have read so far. Hypothetically speaking, if these new rules were to be imposed on foreign carriers operating into the USA, I wonder how the issue of cargo operations would be applied. Personally, I fly for a foreign carrier on a fleet which is comprised of half freighters and half pax aircraft. I could easily operate a couple cargo flights long haul then a pax flight to the USA. Does this mean that my cargo flight duty would not be considered towards the FTL for the pax flight? Many foreign carriers have a mix of freight/pax aircraft of the same type; example, Emirates, Cathay, Korean, Asiana, Singapore, Air France, the list goes on... Just pondering.
