The Large Area Telescope (LAT), on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed an increasing gamma-ray flux from a source positionally consistent with 1FGL J0522.8-3632, a source associated with PKS 0521-36 (RA: 05h22m57.98465s, DEC: -36d27m30.8509, J2000, Lambert et al. 2009, A&A, 493, 317) at z=0.055. Preliminary analysis indicates that the source on June 17, 2010 was in a high state with a gamma-ray flux (E>100MeV) of (1.0 ± 0.2) e-6 ph/cm2/s (statistical uncertainty only), about 10 times the flux reported in the 1FGL catalogue (Abdo et al.
