The site name in the urls has changed to nvlpubs.nist.gov .
For the DSS, the latest version in which DSA is described is
nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.186-4.pdf . It will be with withdrawn on February 23, 2024, though, and the superseding FIPS 186-5 standard says that it can only be used for signature verification from then on, but for the algorithm description it points back to FIPS 186-4.
