Thankyou!
neutral Marcelo González : With all due respect, you "disagree," or you simply refuse to admit what you suggest above, i.e.,that it might be a department, too? >As you mention, it could be any one of three possibilities, which suggests the appropriateness of a more general term.

I disagree, agency works very well in this phrase. // I'm not sure what your problem is, but please read the Kudoz rules.

federal organization / entity

More context is needed.
Peer comment(s):

agree Marcelo González : (federal) entity, body, or, as I suggest below, "authority" // the important thing is that the term be general, and readily applicable to the context of public administration. Regards!

**NOT AGENCY**

The best term in this context (in which it could just as easily be an agency, as it could a department or an office) is a term that this sufficiently broad, covering "all the bases" (so to speak). Though "entity" and "body" are fine, the most common of such broad, general terms would be "authorities" (at least in the US).
