The peak of the event\nlocalization probability was at an angle of 23 deg with respect to the\nspacecraft pointing axis. This orientation implies strongly suppressed\n(16% of optimal) response of ISGRI, strongly suppressed (25% of\noptimal) response of IBIS/Veto, and somewhat suppressed (56% of\noptimal) response of SPI-ACS.\n\nThe background within +/-300 seconds around the event was very stable\n(excess variance 1).\n\nWe have performed a search for any impulsive events in INTEGRAL SPI-\nACS (as described in Savchenko et al. 2012, A&A 541A, 122S) data.\n\nWe do not detect any significant counterparts and estimate a 3-sigma\nupper limit on the 75-2000 keV fluence of 2.3e-07 erg/cm^2 for a burst\nlasting less than 1 s with a characteristic short GRB spectrum (an\nexponentially cut off power law with alpha=-0.5 and Ep=600 keV)\noccurring at any time in the interval within 300 s around T0. For a\ntypical long GRB spectrum (Band function with alpha=-1, beta=-2.5, and\nEp=300 keV), the derived peak flux upper limit is ~2e-07 (8.6e-08)\nerg/cm^2/s at 1 s (8 s) time scale in 75-2000 keV energy range.",
