COMMENTS:        This AT will self-cancel at the end of the first orbit (ie I_signif<7.0 && Trig_dur<65msec).

    At 00:43:19 UT, the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) triggered and
    located GRB 211001 ***A*** (trigger=1076121).  Swift slewed immediately to the burst.
    The BAT on-board calculated location is 
    RA, Dec 71.470, +12.040 which is 
       RA(J2000) = 04h 45m 53s
       Dec(J2000) = +12d 02' 26"
    with an uncertainty of 3 arcmin (radius, 90% containment, including 
    systematic uncertainty).  The BAT light curve showed a [**double-peaked**]
    structure with a duration of about TTT sec.  The peak count rate
    was ~1257 counts/sec (15-350 keV), at ~1 sec after the trigger.
