In the RHIC run of 2006, PHENIX recorded data from about 20 nb-1 of transversely polarized p+p collisions at {radical}(s) = 62.4 GeV and polarization of about 50%. Also in this last run PHENIX successfully commissioned a new PbWO4 based electromagnetic calorimeter, the Muon Piston Calorimeter (MPC), covering 2{pi} in azimuth and 3.1 < {eta} < 3.7. The forward coverage allows PHENIX to measure high xF {pi}0 production. We present the current status of the analysis for the single inclusive {pi}0 transverse asymmetry AN at forward rapidities in PHENIX.
