In general, publications of the National Institute of Standards and
Technology, as publications of the Federal government, are in the
public domain and not subject to copyright in the United States.
Permission to reprint or copy from them is therefore not required. The
original source should be credited.

Doesn't this apply to the data being referred to?

Excerpt:
---
To the extent that NIST may hold copyright in countries other than the
United States, you are hereby granted the non-exclusive irrevocable
and unconditional right to print, publish, prepare derivative works
and distribute the NIST data, in any medium, or authorize others to do
so on your behalf, on a royalty-free basis throughout the world.
