The KPNO International Spectroscopic Survey (KISS) is a new objective-prism survey for extragalactic emission-line objects. It combines many of the features of previous slitless spectroscopic surveys with the advantages of modern CCD detectors and is the first purely digital objective-prism survey for emission-line galaxies. Here we present the first list of emission-line galaxy candidates selected from our red spectral data, which cover the spectral range 6400 to 7200{AA}. In most cases, the detected emission line is H{alpha}. The current survey list covers a 1{deg}-wide strip located at {delta}= 29{deg} 30' (B1950.0) and spanning the right ascension range 12h 15m to 17h 0m. An area of 62.2{deg}^2^ is covered. A total of 1128 candidate emission-line objects have been selected for inclusion in the survey list (18.1{deg}^-2^). We tabulate accurate coordinates and photometry for each source, as well as estimates of the redshift and emission-line flux and equivalent width based on measurements of the digital objective-prism spectra. The properties of the KISS emission-line galaxies are examined using the available observational data.
