You're correct that the FAA does not have regulation authority, but they DO require airlines to enforce their own regulations. Therefore, if an airline says you are allowed only one carry-on, and the FAA inspectors find that an airline is not limiting the number of carry-ons that people bring on board, the airline can incur a hefty fine.
