Right good question. The "EFTA numbers" are really called Bates numbers, you put them on each page in a document.

The first bates number is the filename and the number on the first page in a document then each page is numberd sequentially.

You can read about it here in the case of the Epstein files. https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1426091/dl

EFTA stands for "Epstein Files Transparency Act"

in some instances, these documents contain previously applied Bates numbers. Those Bates numbers do not reflect whether an item is responsive under the Act. Only those documents that include a Bates number with "EFTA" in its designation are those that are responsive under the Act.
