You have an attempted tag - you need to announce the result of that attempt - SAFE in this case. I am not in the camp that would announce, "No tag", as half the field will only here you say TAG... but I wouldn't jump on an umpire who did so. I'd definitely be verbalizing SAFE as well on one like this.
