I actually forgot to mention the Tokkou ( トッコー)  part: That's how Japanese sometimes abbreviates its nouns. (using Katakana)

特別渡航課 (Restricted Voyage Agency, lit. Special Voyage Department)

特 X X 航 X

To (ト) + Kou (コー)

Tokkou = トッコー

not to be confused with 渡航 (tokou, とこう) which is just the hiragana reading of the word Voyage or Travelling in [International Travel Permit Agency.]

Actually I picked this Kanji (特別渡航課, RVA) from chapter 341 (not 340) when the manager was talking with the DS. Here: https://i.imgur.com/E5JFAfs.png

I will search for the Curly panel in Ch. 340

まずV5直轄運営の外来渡行許可庁へ申請を出さねばなりまさんが

That's the japanese part that corresponds to: "You must send an application of passage to an agency operated by V5" from Viz

Note that Viz didn't mention the RVA here, just "agency".

In the Japanese version there's more to it:

"First, you must send an application to (the/a) Foreign Travel Permit Agency(s) directly operated by V5"

So far we have:

特別渡航課 (Special Voyage Department, Viz=Restricted Voyage Agnecies)

外来渡行許可庁 (Foreign Travel Permit Agency, simply FPA or FTPA)

国際渡航許可庁 (International Travel Permit Agency, simply IPA or ITPA)

国際環境許可庁 (International Environmental Permit Agency, simply IEA or IEPA) I actually think we should use ITPA and IEPA, since IPA could mean both...

FTPA didn't have the 課 (smaller unit) so it's most likely the ITPA or something else. Curly might've just said "Foreign" depending on the context that the ITPA is foreign agency to Kakin (before they formed V6). While the cabinmates used "International" as they work under V5. This could a half-assed explanation from me... still Curly being the knowledgable Varvard professor he is (lol), I wouldn't be surprised if he added this nuance on purpose.

I went even further and saw another mention of the word "agency" in viz translation: when glasses guy was talking with the manager after the summit: he says "Like you asked, I submitted all the various risks. But isn’t the agency contradicting itself if the conclusion is that we’d still go?"

指示通りに有りと有らゆるリスクを膨大な資料にまとめて提示しましたが

結論が「それでも行く」では庁として矛盾していませんか？

Agency here is written as just 庁 so it could be any of the ITPA/FTPA or IEPA. Not the RVAs... Now since he's talking about travelling to the DC, it's most likely referring to the ITPA. But again, it could be IEPA if by "various risks" glasses guy meant the calamities (enviromental part). Reading through the summit again, glasses guy seems to be focusing on the "travel aspect" more, but there is also this part....

"Yes, I have a file on that. Article 4 of the Unchartered Basic Relations Treaty; “International Threats:” Clauses 7-9 prohibit active involvement with contagious diseases, biological hazards, and unknown menaces. If it is determined that a nation is endangered. The use of force including military intervention, is permitted."

....that might imply he's the IEPA Deputy Secretary? Honestly, this is mind boggling. For all we know, both the IEPA and ITPA could be the same thing. With Togashi's vague language, I wouldn't put it past him...
