FAA Form 8130-3
The FAA authorised release tag, serving the same purpose as an EASA Form 1 under United States rules.

Fleets and supply chains cross jurisdictions, so both forms appear in the same records — and a part accepted under one may need the other for a given operator.
In AerSynx
Both are recognised as release documents against the component, and the record search covers them together across the fleet. Record Search →
