432.0000 Printed Sales Messages—Regulation 1541.5
Annotation 432.0015
432.0015 Brochures Which Include Over 90 Percent Advertising. An advertising brochure containing entries from many advertisers, published every month in the same format, is not an exempt periodical because over 90% of the printed area contains advertising material. The brochure does, however, meet the criteria for exemption for printed sales message when the brochures are picked up by a distribution house or common carrier and distributed to others, including some of the advertisers, at no charge.
Although the advertisers pay the publisher for the right to be included in the brochure, none of the amount can be considered to be payment for the brochures because the advertisers pay the same fee regardless of whether they choose to receive copies of the brochure, or choose not to receive copies of the brochures. 12/20/90.
