We report the following supernova classifications. Targets were supplied by Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (see Huber et. al., ATEL #7153). All observations were made with the Nordic Optical Telescope, during the night starting on 2015 August 18, using ALFOSC, grism 4 (320-910 nm, 16 Angstrom resolution) and 1" slit. Classifications were done with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).
