Zach Golkhou (ASU), and Vicki Toy (UMD) report: We observed the field of GRB 160912A (Cannizzo et al., GCN 19912) with the Reionization and Transients Infrared Camera (RATIR; www.ratir.org) on the 1.5m Harold Johnson Telescope at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional on Sierra San Pedro Mártir from 2016/09 13.14 to 2016/09 13.24 UTC (11.20 to 13.52 hours after the BAT trigger), obtaining a total of 1.76 hours exposure in the r and i bands and 0.74 hours exposure in the Z, Y, J, and H bands. We detect the optical afterglow reported by Tanvir et al. (GCN 19918). In comparison with the USNO-B1 and 2MASS catalogs, we obtain the following detections and (3-sigma) upper limits: r = 23.05 +/- 0.10 i = 22.73 +/- 0.13 Z = 22.62 +/- 0.31 Y = 22.13 +/- 0.29 J > 21.91 H > 21.72 These magnitudes are in the AB system and are not corrected for Galactic extinction in the direction of the GRB.
