(a) IN GENERAL.-Except as provided in subsection (b), the ¹ chapter provides the exclusive civil procedures for the United States-

(1) to recover a judgment on a debt; or

(2) to obtain, before judgment on a claim for a debt, a remedy in connection with such claim.

(b) LIMITATION.-To the extent that another Federal law specifies procedures for recovering on a claim or a judgment for a debt arising under such law, those procedures shall apply to such claim or judgment to the extent those procedures are inconsistent with this chapter.

(c) AMOUNTS OWING OTHER THAN DEBTS.-This chapter shall not apply with respect to an amount owing that is not a debt or to a claim for an amount owing that is not a debt.

¹ So in original. Probably should be "this".
