When copies of less than an entire deposit are to be certified, it shall also be the responsibility of the Copyright Office to determine what parts of the deposit are to be copied, and to provide this information to the Photoduplication Service.

Form and content of certified copies of deposits (other than Patent Office deposits).
a.
As a rule, certified copies of copyright deposits consist of one or more photocopies or photographs, accompanied by a printed certification form (Certification D).
1.
Photocopies prepared by processes other than photography are provided for most flat material. Black-and-white photographs are usually provided for three dimensional deposits and for flat items requiring special lighting or composition for a proper reproduction. Color prints and transparencies have occasionally been furnished.
2.
A special certification must be drawn and typed if the material copied is less than the entire deposit, or if it is not the actual deposit copy (e.g., a photograph deposited in lieu of a copy).
b.
In any case where the Copyright Office is certifying a copy of a deposit, the material certified must include a copy of the page or surface bearing the registration number and date of deposit.
