F.E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC) and C.B. Markwardt (GSFC/UMD) report 
on behalf of the Swift UVOT team:

      Swift/UVOT began its initial finding chart exposure of the 
field of GRB 070328 (Markwardt et al. 2007, GCN Circ. 6224Loading...
 
 ) 
98 s after the Swift/BAT trigger. No afterglow candidate is seen 
in the refined XRT error region (Evans et al. 2007, GCN Circ. 6227Loading...
 
 )
in any of the early UVOT exposures. Three-sigma upper limits
for the initial finding chart exposure and for the total exposure
for each of the UVOT filters are provided below. The times
in the table are from the Swift/BAT trigger.

   UVW2      711      11076     1101        21.5

These upper limits are not corrected for extinction.
The Galactic reddening in the direction of the burst is 
E_{B-V} = 0.04 mag (Schlegel et al. 1998).
