RXTE observed the new transient MAXI J0556-332 for about 3 ksec beginning on January 13 at 12:29:42.00 (UTC). The spectrum is soft, and can be modeled as a sum of black body and power-law components, both modified by absorption. The 2 - 10 keV flux is 1.77 x 10-9 erg/cm^2/s (approximately 90 mCrab). The best-fit black body has kT = 1.1 +- 0.02 keV, but contributes only about 20% of the flux. The power-law is steep, with an index of 5.5 +- 0.2, and makes up the majority (80%) of the total flux.
