(2)implement the alternative level of payments beginning on the same date as would otherwise apply, for the year involved, under section 5304.
(b)The requirements set forth in paragraphs
(2)and (3), respectively, of section 5303(b) shall apply with respect to any decision to exercise any authority to fix an alternative level of comparability payments under this section.
