Note especially that the proposal is for "non-recreational operations" - FAA tends to make a big differentiation between commercial and private (recreational) activities. I read this proposal as being aimed at movie production, utility (pipeline, powerline) inspection, and similar operations. Another thing about the FAA - once they write rules, they are generally reluctant to change them, so for anyone wanting to comment on the NPRM, sooner is better than later.
