We report an analysis of observations of the vicinity of the high-energy 
IC201014A neutrino event (GCN 28616
Not found
 
 
) with all-sky survey data from the 
Large Area Telescope (LAT), on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space 
Telescope. The IceCube event was detected on 2020-10-14 at 02:13:27.53 
UT (T0) with J2000 position RA = 221.22 (+1.00,-0.75) deg, Decl. = 14.44 
(+0.67,-0.46) deg 90% PSF containment. No cataloged >100 MeV gamma-ray 
sources (The Fourth Fermi-LAT catalog; The Fermi-LAT collaboration 2020, 
ApJS, 247, 33)�are located within the 90% IC201014A localization error.

We searched for intermediate (days to years) timescale emission from a 
new gamma-ray transient source. Preliminary analysis indicates no 
significant (> 5 sigma) new excess emission (> 100 MeV) at the 
IC201014A�best-fit position. Assuming a power-law spectrum (photon index 
= 2.0 fixed) for a point source at the IC201014A�best-fit position, the 
 >100 MeV flux upper limit (95% confidence) is < 5.6e-10 ph cm^-2 s^-1 
for ~12-years (2008-08-04 / 2020-10-14 UTC), < 6.6e-9 (< 7.1e-8) ph 
cm^-2 s^-1 for a 1-month (1-day) integration time before T0.

Since Fermi normally operates in an all-sky scanning mode, regular 
monitoring of this source will continue. For these observations the 
Fermi-LAT contact persons are S. Garrappa (simone.garrappa at desy.de 
<http://desy.de/>) and S. Buson (sara.buson at uni-wuerzburg.de 
<http://uni-wuerzburg.de/>). The Fermi-LAT is a pair conversion 
telescope designed to cover the energy band from 20 MeV to greater than 
300 GeV. It is the product of an international collaboration between 
NASA and DOE in the U.S. and many scientific institutions across France, 
Italy, Japan and Sweden.
