I don't believe this is accurate anymore (I think it used to be?). If it is a port-installed part for your year/make/model anyone can install it regardless of build sheet.

I bolded the relevant part. I believe the updating/backdating comment is in regards to a PIO that wasn't available in 2013 but was in 2014, meaning it would be illegal to install on the 2013.
