The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with the BL Lac type object PKS 2233-148 (R.A.= 22:36:34.08716, Dec.= -14:33:22.1897, J2000; Petrov et al. 2008, AJ, 136, 580). Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on 2010-04-23 was in a high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (0.7 ±0.3) x 10-6 ph/cm2/sec (statistical only).
