We report 16 new AGN detected at >4.8 sigma significance in the 14-195 keV band using the first 22 months of data (15 Dec 2004 -- 1 Nov 2006) from the Swift/BAT Survey (Markwardt et al 2005 ApJL 633, 77; Tueller et al 2008 ApJ 681, 113). Each of these new BAT sources was followed up with observations taken with Swift/XRT or examinations of Chandra or XMM archival data. We have detected an X-ray (3-10 keV) counterpart to each BAT source.
