Abstract We present preliminary results from deep optical searches of small (≤∼5 arcmin2) GRB error boxes determined using the Third Interplanetary Network (IPN3). Two of these fields also have been found to have historical OT events located within the IPN3 error boxes. We compare the preliminary results of these searches to those reported for the larger IPN1 error boxes. The small size of the IPN3 error boxes should allow a test of the hypothesis suggested by the IPN1 study that there are excess QSOs associated with the GRB fields.
