Subject

W. Landsman (NASA/GSFC) and D. Grupe (PSU) report on behalf of the 
Swift/UVOT team.

The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 070612B starting 3256 s after 
the BAT trigger (Grupe et al., GCN Circ. 6511).   The UVOT observations 
were delayed due to a Earth-limb constraint. 

We do not find any source in any of the UVOT observations inside the 
refined XRT error circle (Grupe et al., GCN Circ. 6514). The 3-sigma 
upper limits for detecting  a source in the first finding chart (FC) 
exposure and co-added frames are:

Filter    T_start(s)   T_stop(s)     Exp(s)     Mag (3-sigma UL)
