H. Siegel (PSU) and K. L. Page (U. Leicester) report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team: The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 221016A 97 s after the BAT trigger (Page et al., GCN Circ. 32774). No optical afterglow consistent with the XRT position (Page et al. GCN Circ. 32774) 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: Filter T_start(s) T_stop(s) Exp(s) Mag white_FC 97 247 147 >19.6 white 97 247 147 >19.6 b 3736 3861 123 >19.8 u 309 349 39 >18.8 The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.026 in the direction of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998). =========== Draft Detection Circular ======== GRB 221016A: Swift/UVOT Detection M.
