I assume this file is generated by script based on the ASHRAE design day data from the HOF but I don't know who might have script.

I did discover that the TMY3 EPWs posted on climate.onebuilding.org include ASHRAE 2021 design conditions (as well as updated precipitation values). For example, here's a diff for one TMY3 EPW (energyplus.net on the left, climate.onebuilding.org on the right):

Last time this was touched I think: https://github.com/NREL/EnergyPlusBuildSupport/pull/23/commits/02a316a32dfc3c586c00d0fdb23f419ca91ccd7e

If we want to pursue this, I suggest reaching out to Dru and Linda.
