My list of Constitutionally authorized agencies:
  1. The Treasury
  2. The Army
  3. The Navy (Marines are under here)
  4. The Post Office
  5. The DOT (though scaled back; essentially ensuring interstate repair and [minimal] safety standards)
  6. The Secret service (though scaled back [no protection of politicians; only investigation of counterfeiting])
  7. The IRS (Amd #16 is valid.)
  8. Dept of Commerce (only international and interstate; no intrastate jurisdiction)
  9. INS
  10. Copyright Office
  11. Patent Office
I might be missing one or two, but Art 1 Sec 8 is actually very limiting.
