This is a severability clause for a chapter of federal law. If a court finds one part unconstitutional or invalid, that ruling only affects that part. The rest of the chapter stays valid and enforceable.
This section is a separability, or severability, clause.
It says that if any part of this chapter — or the way that part is applied to a specific person or situation — is ruled unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, that does not affect the rest of the chapter.
The other provisions, and how they apply to other people or situations, keep working normally. Only the specific invalid part, or invalid application, is affected.

If any provision of this chapter or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is held unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, the remaining provisions of this chapter and the application of such provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
