The Swift/BAT hard X-ray transient monitor reports renewed activity in the 15-50 keV band for the transient neutron star Z source and low mass X-ray binary system XTE J1701-262. Starting on 2010-Nov-08 (MJD 55508), the source has increased in intensity from an undetectable level (one-sigma upper limit for a daily average of 0.0016 cts/cm2/sec or 8 mcrab) up to a current level of 0.010 ± 0.003 cts/cm2/sec (45 mcrab) averaged over the data from 2010-Nov-09 through Nov-11.
