regulations, and treaties.
(1) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (4), the filing of a financing statement is not
necessary or effective to perfect a security interest in property subject to:
(a) a statute, regulation, or treaty of the United States whose requirements for a security
interest's obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property
preempt Subsection 70A-9a-310(1);

(b) Section 41-1a-601; or
(c) a statute of another jurisdiction which provides for a security interest to be indicated on a
certificate of title as a condition or result of the security interest's obtaining priority over the
rights of a lien creditor with respect to the property.
(2) Compliance with the requirements of a statute, regulation, or treaty described in Subsection
(1) for obtaining priority over the rights of a lien creditor is equivalent to the filing of a financing
statement under this chapter. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (4), Section
70A-9a-313, and Subsections 70A-9a-316(4) and (5) for goods covered by a certificate of title,
a security interest in property subject to a statute, regulation, or treaty described in Subsection
(1) may be perfected only by compliance with those requirements, and a security interest so
perfected remains perfected notwithstanding a change in the use or transfer of possession of
the collateral.
(3) Except as otherwise provided in Subsection (4) and Subsections 70A-9a-316(4) and (5),
duration and renewal of perfection of a security interest perfected by compliance with the
requirements prescribed by a statute, regulation, or treaty described in Subsection (1) are
governed by the statute, regulation, or treaty. In other respects, the security interest is subject
to this chapter.
(4) During any period in which collateral subject to a statute specified in Subsection (1)(b) is
inventory held for sale or lease by a person or leased by that person as lessor and that person
is in the business of selling goods of that kind, this section does not apply to a security interest
in that collateral created by that person.
