We report a spectroscopic classification of PSN J00513484+2943149
located at RA=00:51:34.84 DEC=+29:43:14.9 (J2000). A spectrum (range
500-1000 nm) obtained robotically on June 28.55 UT with the FLOYDS
spectrograph at "Faulkes Telescope North" at Haleakala shows it
to be a SN Ia roughly 40 to 50 days after maximum light, and is consistent
with the host galaxy (UGC 525) redshift of z=0.0164. Classification was
performed via supernova spectrum cross correlation using SNID (Blondin
& Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
