We further report on additional spectral lag analysis regarding the possible
short duration burst classification of GRB 080413B (Stamatikos et al. GCN
Circ. 7598). We now believe GRB 080413B to be a long GRB based upon the
following BAT prompt emission properties:

1) The spectral lag in 25-50 to 100-350 keV bands and 15-25 to 50-100 keV
bands are 0.238 +- 0.016 sec and 0.136 +- 0.008 sec for 4 ms binning.
Therefore, GRB 080413B shows a significant lag.

2) The T90 of the spike is 8.0 +- 1.0 sec based on the mask-weighted light
curve (Barthelmy et al., GCN 7606), which is well within the long duration
GRB population (Sakamoto et al. ApJS, 175, 179).
