Revised NLTT (New Luyten Catalogue of Stars With Proper Motions Larger than Two Tenths of an Arcsecond) contains improved astrometry and new optical/infrared photometry for the vast majority of NLTT stars lying in the overlap of regions covered by POSS I and by the 2MASS release, approximately 44% of the sky. The epoch 2000 positions are typically accurate to 130 mas, the proper motions to 5.5 mas/yr, and the V-J colors to 0.25 mag. Relative proper motions of binary components are meaured to 3 mas/yr. The false identification rate is ~1% for 11 < V < 18 and substantially less at brighter magnitudes.
