| | | it is run in accordance with the provisions of... | Explanation:
...followed by whatever you are going to call the law or act.
I think versions closer to the terms of the original sound very stilted and awkward, and that this is a reasonably natural way of saying what it actually means.

There's no need to put "legal provisions" for "sustentación legal", since the law is mentioned just afterwards, though you could; "legal" is redundant really.

Just seen that Simon suggested "running" before me. I think it's better than "management", though that would be OK. But mainly I think it works much better with a verb than a noun: simpler and clearer in English.

Some people don't like "in accordance with". I think it works well, but if you prefer you could simplify even further and say "run according to". |
