A. A. Breeveld (MSSL-UCL) and A. Melandri (INAF-OAB) report on behalf of 
the Swift/UVOT team:

The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 130604A 
109 s after the BAT trigger (Melandri et al., GCN Circ. 14752Loading...
 
 ). No 
optical afterglow consistent with the optical position (Perley, GCN 
Circ. 14753Loading...
 
 ) is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system 
(Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first finding 
chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic 
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.03 in the direction of the 
burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
