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 1 of NRS 104.9310;

(b) Chapter 105 of NRS, NRS 482.423 to 482.431, inclusive, 488.1793 to 488.1827, inclusive, and 489.501 to 489.581, inclusive; 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 article. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 4, NRS 104.9313 and subsections 4 and 5 of NRS 104.9316 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 4 and 5 of NRS 104.9316, 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 article.

4. During any period in which collateral subject to a statute specified in paragraph (b) of subsection 1 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.
