I think the NNA did admit this to be the case, well, mostly. IN a blog post from 2014 they wrote:
"We learned these lessons firsthand in the early days of supporting the work of Notary signing agents.
Years ago the NNA published a draft of a suggested minimum fee schedule for signing agents. Though not intended as a binding rule or standard, after publication the NNA learned the draft could be perceived as an attempt to unfairly influence signing agent fees. To ensure we followed the law, the NNA removed the fee schedule from our website, publications and reference material. "
That's about as honest as they've been.
