Kunal Mooley (NRAO, Caltech; Jansky Fellow), Steve Myers, Dale Frail 
(NRAO), Alessandra Corsi, Arvind Balasubramanian, Deven Bhakta (TTU), 
Gregg Hallinan, Shri Kulkarni (Caltech), report on behalf of the JAGWAR team

We have initiated deep C band (4-8 GHz) multi-epoch observations of the 
1-sigma containment region (0.3 sq deg; HAWC Collaboration, GCN 25333) 
coincident with the GW event S191216ap with the Karl G. Jansky Very 
Large Array. A total of 37 pointings (7 arcmin FWHM primary beam at 6 
GHz; pointing coordinates given below), observed as part of the JAGWAR 
program, will achieve a uniform RMS noise of ~8 uJy over the survey 
region. We will report any radio transients found through the GCN system.
