Stamatikos (OSU), (i.e. the Swift-BAT team): Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210421A (trigger #1044426) (Moss et al., GCN Circ. 29849). The BAT ground-calculated position is RA, Dec = 104.882, 4.928 deg which is RA(J2000) = 06h 59m 31.7s Dec(J2000) = +04d 55' 41.2" with an uncertainty of 1.2 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 44%. The BAT light curve showed a complex structure with a duration of about ~60 sec. T90 (15-350 keV) is 79.52 +- 26.78 sec (estimated error including systematics). The time-averaged spectrum from T-21.74 to T+73.22 sec is best fit by a power law with an exponential cutoff. This fit gives a photon index 1.10 +- 0.72, and Epeak of 35.2 +- 8.5 keV (chi squared 61.93 for 56 d.o.f.). For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 2.0 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+2.47 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 2.0 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index of 2.10 +- 0.13 (chi squared 69.44 for 57 d.o.f.). All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
