(CRITICAL) Data for NBS FIPS 46 is incorrect

[ronaldtse]

https://pages.nist.gov/NIST-Tech-Pubs/FIPS.html contains an entry for NBS FIPS 46, but it is pointing to wrong data.

The current entry points to this URL: https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/Legacy/FIPS/fipspub46.pdf

Which has a publication date of 1990.

Notice that this is not the FIPS 46 document, it is the "NCSL Bulletin" that writes about "FIPS PUB 46 published in 1977"!

The correct document is available on the NIST CSRC site: https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/fips/46/archive/1977-01-15

With PDF: https://csrc.nist.gov/CSRC/media/Publications/fips/46/archive/1977-01-15/documents/NBS.FIPS.46.pdf

We would like to request the correction of this data, as affecting:

• https://github.com/relaton/relaton-data-nist/issues/17
• https://github.com/relaton/relaton-data-nist/issues/6

Thank you @kmiller621 !

Just wanted to also confirm that the metadata for this entry has been updated, as the NIST pages have not yet been updated (I know they were last updated in May):
