The third phase of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE-III) has been conducted since 2001 and regularly monitors the brightness of about 200 million stars. The OGLE-III fields cover both Magellanic Clouds and a large area in the Galactic bulge and disk. Here we describe the first parts of the OGLE-III Catalog of Variable Stars which is being prepared on the basis of these data. We present the principles of the catalog and methods used to select variable stars. We expect that the whole catalog will contain at least one million variable stars of all types. The catalog includes the list of variable sources along with their basic parameters, high precision multi-epoch I and V-band photometry and accurate astrometry. All objects are classified and cross-identified with previously published catalogs. We also carry out a preliminary statistical analysis of these huge samples of variable stars.
