HomeFAA Order 8130.21, which reflects the instructions for completing an 8130-3 tag, is scheduled to be revised this year. The “F” revision to this document was expected to be released early in 2008, and now appears likely to be released in May. The expected revisions include guidance on how to maintain electronic copies of airworthiness approval tags, as well changes designed to harmonize the guidance with the European guidance for issuing an EASA Form One.
The instructions for completing an EASA Form One are found in the EASA regulations. As a consequence, changes to the instructions for completing the tag require a rule change in Europe.
EASA published a Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) addressing the harmonization effort. The comment period for that document closed in December, and EASA expects to issue their final rule on the instructions for completing the EASA Form One at about the same time that the FAA issues Order 8130.21F.

see 145.A.50(f)

when an aircraft is grounded at a location other than the main line station or main maintenance base due to the non-availability of a component with the appropriate release certificate, it is permissible to temporarily fit a component without the appropriate release certificate for a maximum of 30 flight hours or until the aircraft first returns to the main line station or main maintenance base, whichever is the sooner, subject to the aircraft operator agreement and said component having a suitable release certificate but otherwise in compliance with all applicable maintenance and operational requirements.
