The catalogue PVC96 is published. This is the first version of catalogue of declinations of FK5 (<I/149>) fundamental stars derived from the observations made with the Zverev photographic vertical circle (PVC) of the Pulkovo observatory in 1987-1994. The given comparison of the PVC96 with the HIP (<I/196>) catalogue obtained by the Hipparcos space project demonstrates that mean error of declination in the PVC96 is 0.1arcsec which corresponds to estimation made a priori.
