Aazami and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on Mar 11.5 (mag about 17.5) and 12.5 UT (mag about 17.4). SN 2001XXX is located at R.A. = 16h19m34s.83, Decl. = +57o37'5".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 10".9 east and 11".4 north of the nucleus of NGC 6130. A KAIT image of the same field taken on 2000 Aug 15.3 UT showed nothing at this position (limiting mag about 19.0).
