(2) the plan had been identified as a plan that was not a multiemployer plan in substantially all its filings with the corporation, the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of the Treasury.
An election described in subsection (a) of this section shall be effective only if—
(1) the plan is amended to provide that it shall not be treated as a multiemployer plan for all purposes under this chapter and the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, and
(2) written notice of the amendment is provided to the corporation within 60 days after the amendment is adopted.
