Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060428B (trigger #207399)
(Campana, et al., GCN 5017).  The BAT ground-calculated position is RA,Dec =
235.378,+62.027 deg {15h 41m 30.8s,+62d 1' 35.8"} (J2000) +- 1.7 arcmin,
(radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).  The partial coding was 74%.
 
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows a broad peak starting at T-20 sec
until ~T+44 sec.  T90 (15-350 keV) is 58 +- 3 sec (estimated error
including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-23.8 to T+41.9 is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.94 +- 1.30, 
and Epeak of 21.7 +- 14.0 keV (chi squared 68.81 for 56 d.o.f.).  
For this model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
7.2 +- 0.9 x 10^-7 erg/cm2 and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+20.78 sec
in the 15-150 keV band is 0.6 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law
gives a photon index of 2.58 +- 0.19 (chi squared 75.57 for 57 d.o.f.).
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
