Based on data from the Baksan underground scintillation telescope (BUST) for the period 2001 2004, we searched for cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at primary photon energies of 0.5 TeV or higher. We obtained constraints on the rate of bursts with durations of 1 10 s for fluences within the range 4.6 × 10-3-1.8 × 10-2 erg cm-2 in the declination band 30° ≤ δ ≤ 80°. We searched for ultrahigh-energy gamma rays from GRBs detected on spacecraft during and within ±2 h of the burst. No statistically significant excesses above the background of random coincidences were found. The derived constraints on the ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray fluence during GRBs lie within the range 4.6 × 10-3-3.7 × 10-2 erg cm-2.
