It's not that Viz uses the same translation, it's a matter of consistency. With I(T)PA, they dropped the second word. And with IE(P)A, they dropped the third, because if they did that with the second word, it would end having the exact same translation as IPA. There's also the fact they used  agencies in  RVA when they are actually smaller departments; given the smaller unit Kanji used, which is different from the other 3 associations.

FTPA (the one Curly mentioned) doesn't use this smaller unit, so it can't be one the RVAs, and uses  許可庁(Agency) which is found in IEPA and ITPA. FTPA is most likely the ITPA seeing that  the letter "T" stands for travel. However, the Viz text says "an agency operated by V5" which implies there's more than one of them, consequently creating this whole misunderstanding that they are one of the RVAs.

It doesn't even make sense to assume Curly's speech refer to both the ITPA and RVA if we agree that the RVA belongs to the IEA seeing that IEA deputy secretary is the one coordinating them.

Now that I think about it, the FTPA could be the collective entity of the 5 RVAs?

Honestly, I say it's better to wait for this new batch of chapters to end. Something relevant might be revealed by that time. If not, then it gives us time to think about it again. There's no real hurry, it's not like the fans are so eager to know which permit agency an unnamed four eyed person works for. XD
