      Label, also known as a HUD seal or HUD tag, refers to a two inch by four inch
      aluminum plate permanently attached to Manufactured Housing. ii. Standard Manufactured
      Homes must have an affixed HUD Certification Label located at one end of each
      section of the house, approximately one foot up from the floor and one foot
      in from the road side, or as near that location on a permanent part of the exterior
      of the house as practicable. Etched on the HUD Certification Label is the certification
      label number, also referred to as the HUD label number. Label numbers are not
      required to be sequential on a multi-section house. II. ORIGINATION THROUGH
