1. Introduction

Bissaldi et al. (GCN Circ. 16623) reported the GRB detection. At UT 01:36:30.73 on July 23rd, 2014, Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 140723A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger427772193 / 140723067). Table 1 contains the best reported positions from Swift.

Table 2 is a summary of GCN Circulars about this GRB from observatories other than Swift.
