From

E. A. Hoversten (PSU) and A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) report
on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
101030A 73s after the BAT trigger (Melandi et al., GCN 11386).
We do not detect any source at the enhanced Swift XRT position
(Evans et al., GCN 11387).  UVOT magnitude 3-sigma upper limits
are reported in the following table:

Filter  T_start  T_stop  Exp(s)  Mag (3-sigma upper limit)
-------------------------------------------------------------
white(fc)  73      223    146      > 20.32
white      73     1008    327      > 20.75
v         617      808     38      > 17.89
b         542      735     38      > 18.83
u         285      710    260      > 19.68
uvw1      666      857     38      > 18.39
uvm2      641      833     38      > 18.18
uvw2      592      784     38      > 18.61

The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
Galactic extinction along the line of sight of E_(B-V) = 0.04
(Schlegel et al. 1998). All photometry is on the UVOT photometric
system described in Poole et al. (2008, MNRAS, 383, 627).
