Using the data set from T-119 to T+303 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 170101A (trigger #729293)
(Lien et al., GCN Circ. 20349).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 267.089, 11.642 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  17h 48m 21.3s
   Dec(J2000) = +11d 38' 29.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 14%.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 2.43 +- 0.49 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The mask-weighted light curve shows a single FRED-like pulse that starts
at ~T-0.2 s, peaks at ~T0, and ends at ~T+3 s. In addition, there seems to
be some weak emission prior to the FRED-like pulse that starts at ~T-1.6 s,
and a weak tail afterwards that lasts till ~T+8 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is
3.2 +- 0.9 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-1.6 to T+8.5 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.87 +- 0.06.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 6.0 +- 0.2 x 10^-6 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.22 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 54.4 +- 2.0 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

Using a 16-ms binned light curve, the lag analysis finds a lag of 39 +/- 8 ms for
the 100-350 keV to 25-50 keV, and  37 +/- 7 ms for the 50-100 keV to 15-25 keV
band, which is consistent with those of a long GRB.
