divisão administrativa
Do Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary:
instrumentality
1 : the quality or state of being instrumental
2 : MEANS, AGENCY
agency
1 a : the office or function of an agent b : the relationship between a principal and that person's agent
2 : the capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power : OPERATION
3 : a person or thing through which power is exerted or an end is achieved :
INSTRUMENTALITY *communicated through the agency of the ambassador*
4 : an establishment engaged in doing business for another *an advertising agency*
5 : an administrative division (as of a government) *the agency for consumer protection*
Para não confundir com "governmental entity" e "agency", que aparecem pouco antes na frase, sugiro algo como "divisão administrativa".
Boa sorte!
E feliz Natal!
