GBM team, report:

GRB 130828A (GCN 15128, 15129, 15130) has been observed by Fermi,
INTEGRAL (SPI-ACS), Konus-Wind, MESSENGER GRNS, Suzaku, and Swift
(outside the coded field of view), so far.  We have triangulated it to
an annulus centered at RA(2000)=340.597 deg (22 h 42 m 23 s),
Dec(2000)=-9.971 deg (-9 d 58 m 17 s), whose radius is 86.782 +/- 0.092
degrees (3 sigma).  This annulus intersects the Fermi-LAT 1 sigma error
circle (GCN 15128) to form an error box whose area (280 sq.  arcmin.) is 
about 3.6 times smaller than that of the LAT error circle , and whose
corners are
         RA(2000)                    Dec(2000)
     259.541=17 h 18 m 09 s      27.843= 27 d 50 ' 34 "
     259.649=17 h 18 m 35 s      28.254= 28 d 15 ' 13 "
     259.722=17 h 18 m 53 s      27.716= 27 d 42 ' 56 "
     259.875=17 h 19 m 30 s      28.297= 28 d 17 ' 50 "

Some improvement in this triangulation is possible.
