Using an explicit for-each instruction around the xsl:if clause will provide the needed control to make sure position() works properly ... but it's then safer just to select the first one in document order explicitly:

A quick and dirty way:
<xsl:if test="position() = 1"> <div> <xsl:value-of select="AgencyName"/> </div> </xsl:if>
This will display AgencyName only on the first occurrence of the nodes selected by your key.

Note, however, that your key only groups by FilingType--if you have multiple AgencyNames with the same FilingType only the first occurrence of AgencyName will appear.
You can fix this by expanding your key:
<xsl:key name="tar_by_filingtype" match="MonthlyTARList" use="concat(FilingType, ' ', AgencyName)"/>
Then change your for-each to use
key('tar_by_filingtype', concat(FilingType, ' ', AgencyName))

<xsl:for-each select="key('tar_by_filingtype', concat(FilingType, ' ', AgencyName))[1]"> <!-- note predicate in select expression --> <div> <xsl:value-of select="AgencyName"/> </div> </xsl:for-each>
