1. Introduction

Racusin et al. (GCN Circ. 19879) reported the GRB detection. At 08:01:37 on August 29, 2016 Fermi-LAT detected high-energy emission from GRB 160829A, which was also detected by Fermi-GBM (trigger 494150501/160829334). 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.
