Third Party Access Considerations 5 • Establish a connection fee which will be charged for any Third-Party who wishes to establish an API connection with the SMT environment. • Establish a monthly management fee which will be charged for any Third-Party who wishes to maintain an API connection with the SMT environment. The fee would probably need to be based on a tiered approach. • Consider whether the REPs who are not a ROR should be charged a connection fee or monthly management fee.
