reports on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team: 

 "The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) trigger 488295927/160622573 
at 13:45:23.82 UT on 22 June 2016, tentatively classified as a GRB, is in
 fact not due to a GRB. This trigger is due to a SGR. Further triggers from 
this source are possible and we will not issue a circular for individual triggers 
during this outburst from the source, even those that are misclassified as GRBs."
