You can't. It is not available in machine-readable form. The copyright
holder, ANSI, relies on sales of printed standards to support its work,
and accordingly does not make standards available in easily-copied forms.
(There have recently been some doubts raised about the copyright situation,
though, so this might change in future.)
(Steve, a note about this in the FAQ list might be a good idea.)
