We observed the field of SN candidate discovered by CRTS, CSS160527:153151+372448
(= ASASSN-16fc) with the 6-meter BTA telescope of SAO RAS equipped with the Scorpio-I
focal reducer on the 2016 May, 31.934 (mid. time).
We obtained 2 ? 600 sec. spectra covered 3500-7200AA range with the resolution of
FWHM = 10A. The spectrum of CSS160527:153151+372448 is most consistent
with the normal Type Ia SN 1998bu at the phase +10 days,
redshifted by z = 0.030 +/- 0.002. The brightness of object was V = 16.7 +/- 0.1.
This classification is in agreement with the observations by T. Kangas et al. (ATel#9060).
