The goal of government-wide ELF program is to reduce administrative costs by eliminating legal-size paper in favor of letter-size paper. Letter-size records:
reduce costs by eliminating the need to purchase file supplies and equipment to accommodate multiple paper sizes; reduce inefficiencies associated with files containing multi-size documents (e.g., it is often difficult to find letter-size records inter-filed with legal-size records); reduce accommodation costs by reducing the amount of floor space required to store records; reduce paper consumption; reduce mailing costs (letter-size paper is 21% smaller and 24% lighter than legal-size paper) between different systems.
