Pulsations from the transient Be/X-ray pulsar XTE J1946+274 are currently being detected with Fermi/GBM. The pulsations were first detected in the data of June 5.0-6.0 at a frequency of 63.463(9) mHz, with a pulsed flux of 0.17 +/- 0.02 cnts cm^-2 s^-1 in the 12-50 keV band. The last outburst of this source detected with Fermi/GBM began on April 30 2011 (ATel #2677, ATel #2663).
