Sec.  100.27  Mass mailing (2 U.S.C. 431(23)).

    Mass mailing means a mailing by United States mail or facsimile of 
more than 500 pieces of mail matter of an identical or substantially 
similar nature within any 30-day period. A mass mailing does not include 
electronic mail or Internet communications. For purposes of this 
section, substantially similar includes communications that include 
substantially the same template or language, but vary in non-material 
respects such as communications customized by the recipient's name, 
occupation, or geographic location.
