J. Anderson and Thomas de Jaeger, Universidad de Chile; and Joaquim Palacio, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, on behalf of the Millennium Center for Supernova Science, report on optical spectroscopy (range 380-900 nm) of PSN J02060433-5511375 = SN 2012U that was obtained on Jan. 21.2 UT with the Magellan II Clay 6.5-m telescope (+ LDSS3) at Las Campanas Observatory. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) gives best matches with type-Ia supernovae around maximum light. Using the host-galaxy recession velocity from NED of 9549 km/s, the velocity of the Si II 635.5-nm feature is estimated to be approximately 10000 km/s.
