English translation:The Directorate of registering and licensing for mass communication
Explanation:
Or,

...in the field of mass communication

First, I believe it's important to preserve the distinction between "mass communication" (a more general concept) and "mass media".

Secondly, I think the proper translation for "Управление" here is "Directorate" because it's subdivided into more specific "управления" (which can be translated as "departments"): http://new.rosohrancult.ru/structure/managements/y1/

  -> 1) Can agree w/you on Registration, thank you. 2) You are dead wrong, Pavel. "Mass communication" is correct in this context. This is not a sci/eng organization. 3) If you don't know what Directorate is, why list it?
