note: >-
  FMCS is an independent United States federal agency and publishes no plans, no pricing page, no developer
  signup and no paid API tier. There is nothing to buy and nothing to register for to call the public
  content API, which answers anonymously with no credential. The correct reading is not "enterprise
  contact-us gate" but "free and open, with no commercial API surface at all". Recorded as an explicit zero
  rather than omitted, so the absence is data.

fee_bearing_services:
  note: >-
    FMCS does charge fees for some of its SERVICES — the arbitration panel request carries a filing fee and
    is cheaper filed online, and per-diem rate sheets for arbitrators are published quarterly. None of that
    is API pricing: it is the price of an agency service, transacted in the login-gated arbitration system,
    and no machine-readable price list or billing API exists.
