In ATel# 16734, the CHIME/FRB Collaboration reported a high activity state from FRB 20240316A. We would like to add that using the highest signal-to-noise burst, FRB 20240724F, we estimate the dispersion measure to be: 351 +/- 1.6 pc/cm^3. The maximum NE2001/YMW16 Galactic disk DM contribution in the direction of the source is approximately 53/45 pc/cm^3. We hope that this facilitates further follow-up observations of the source.
