GCN Circ. 30697; https://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/other/210822A.gcn3)
triggered the CALET Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (CGBM) at 09:18:18.162 UTC
on 22 August 2021. The burst signal was seen by all CGBM detectors.
Because of a problem in one of the ground alert processing script,
the GCN notice was not distributed automatically for this event.

The burst light curve shows a multi-peaked structure which starts at
T-0.2 sec, peaks at T+0.1 sec and ends at T+11.0 sec.
The T90 and T50 durations measured by the SGM data are 10.1 +- 0.5 sec
and 5.8 +- 0.4 sec (40-1000 keV), respectively.

The ground processed light curve is available at

http://cgbm.calet.jp/cgbm_trigger/ground/1313658800/

The CALET data used in this analysis are provided by
the Waseda CALET Operation Center located at the Waseda University.
