S. Valenti, S. Benetti, L. Tomasella, and P. Ochner, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica; and A. Pastorello, Dipartimento di Astronomia, Universita di Padova, on behalf of a larger collaboration, report that a spectrogram of PSN J22582030+0217299 = SN 2011fz, obtained on Sept. 24.95 UT, suggests that it is a type-Ib/c supernova observed several weeks after maximum. Using the distance module of 34.14 for UGC 12271 (Mould et al. 2000, Ap.J. 529, 786; via the NED website) and an apparent magnitude of 17.7, 2011fz has an absolute magnitude of -16.45, which is consistent with magnitudes of type-Ib/c supernovae at this phase.
