Rules specifications define length, width, weight and BESR label, but as far as I can find do not mention a piece of tape on the bat making it an illegal bat for purposes of 1-3-6. So remove the bat from play in FED, but don't call an out.

1-3-6 says the bat is illegal if it does not meet rule specifications. Read 1-3-4. It says "No foreign substance may be added to the surface of the bat beyond 18 inches from the end of the handle."

Call an out on a piece of tape, and you will be picking boogers, and quite likely overruled on appeal...

I would not call an out, I would just tell him to pull the tape off.
