A Google search for "Federal Standard 376B" returned
http://ts.nist.gov/ts/htdocs/200/202/fs376b.htm
The document is available in PDF format. I found, though, that the format
was a bit funny. It looked like the document was formatted for A4, but my
display program ("acroread" for unix) was displaying it on Letter. I
don't know whether the problem is in the document or my reader
configuration.
Another item returned in my search that was of interest is the document at
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oss/Standard.html, which is the EIA Standards
Manual. It explicitly lists the Federal Standard 376B under "REQUIRED
ACTIONS: Managers are to use the publications listed below for codes,
abbreviations, and acronyms:".
