report:

A more refined analysis of the AGILE-GRID (Gamma-Ray Imaging  
Detector) data of
GRB 090401B (Moretti et al. GCN 9069) confirms the gamma-ray  
detection of the
GRB  at energies above 30 MeV with a statistical significance larger  
than 4
for a 10-second integration after trigger.

Fluence estimate for a 10 second integration is 0.038+/-0.011 ph/cm2
(above 30 MeV).
The GRB 090401B gamma-ray spectrum appears to be relatively hard.

An estimate of fluence in the 500 keV - 10 MeV range, as
derived from MCAL data, is (1.6 +/- 0.5)e-5 erg/cm2 in the same time  
interval.
