From the link in the OP:

Bottom line: No single agency at the state or federal level has direct oversight of Texas' fertilizer plant — which is part of the reason it's been difficult to determine why the blast occurred and how it could've been prevented.

It shows that there is no shortage of regulations on fertilizer distributorships, and it also shows how simply lying about their inventory to DHS would put them under the radar screen for ammonium nitrate.
