S. T. Holland (CRESST/GSFC/USRA), F. E. Marshall (NASA/GSFC),
M. M. Chester (PSU) and J. L. Racusin (PSU) report on the behalf of
the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 070224 starting 132 s
after the BAT trigger (Racusin et al. 2007, GCN Circ. 6137). We do
not find any source, in any of the UVOT observations, inside the
astrometrically corrected XRT error circle (Racusin et al., 2007 GCN
Circ. 6151).
The 3-sigma upper limits for detecting a source anywhere inside
the XRT error circle in the finding chart images, and the co-added
exposures are:
Filter T_start T_stop Exp(s) Mag (3-sigma upper limit)

The values quoted above are not corrected for the expected Galactic
extinction corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.06 mag towards
the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
