(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
  
Using the data set from T-240 to T+962 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210306B (trigger #1036024)
(D'Ai, et al., GCN Circ. 29601).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 331.813, 10.152 deg which is
    RA(J2000)  =  22h 07m 15.1s
    Dec(J2000) = +10d 09' 06.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.9 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 21%.
  
The BAT light curve showed a multi-peaked structure that starts at T-2 s and
ends at ~T+25 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 24.32 +- 2.45 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
  
The time-averaged spectrum from T-2.42 to T+24.63 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.38 +- 0.20.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.7 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+1.04 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 2.4 +- 0.5 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
