14 CFR Part 91 does not have any regulations pertaining to Altimeter Settings being require to shoot an instrument approach.
The only Part 91 regulation pertaining to Altimeter Settings at all is ...
§ 91.121 Altimeter settings.
(a) Each person operating an aircraft shall maintain the cruising altitude or flight level of that aircraft, as the case may be, by reference to an altimeter that is set, when operating—
(1) Below 18,000 feet MSL, to—
(i) The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100 nautical miles of the aircraft;
(ii) If there is no station within the area prescribed in paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this section, the current reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station; or
(iii) In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure; or (above 18,000)
With that being said, Chapter 5 (ATC Procedures) in the AIM and/or the FAA Instrument Procedure Handbook may have some guidance on this topic, unfortunately my time is limited tonight so I will have to look tomorrow.
Hope this helps
