Ukwatta (MSU) (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-239 to T+349 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 130701A (trigger #559482) (Kuin, et al., GCN Circ. 14953). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 357.224, 36.100 deg which is RA(J2000) = 23h 48m 53.7s Dec(J2000) = +36d 05' 58.4" with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 28%. BAT mask-weighted light curve shows overlapping two-peak structure starting from T-1 sec with first peak around T+1 sec and second peak around T+3 sec. The episode ends around T+5 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 4.38 +- 0.25 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.14 to T+5.35 sec is best fit by a power law with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 0.90 +- 0.21, and Epeak of 89.2 +- 12.4 keV (chi squared 40.06 for 56 d.o.f.). For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 4.4 +- 0.1 x 10^-06 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+0.06 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 17.1 +- 0.7 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index of 1.58 +- 0.05 (chi squared 76.39 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
