We present wavelengths and absolute intensities for 243 emission lines from a single active region observed by the Solar Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS) on 1989 May 5. For this catalog, the imaged spectra have been spatially averaged over a field of view 7 sec x 276 sec cutting through the center of AR5464 at S18 W45. Wavelength coverage is 170-450 A with a spectral resolution approaching 10,000. Most of the line positions are determined to 5 mA or better, representing the highest accuracy yet obtained for solar wavelengths throughout this spectral interval. The relative photometric calibration of the instrument is good to +/- 20% over its first-order range, and has been placed onto an absolute scale that should be correct to within a factor less than 2. Where known, identifications, atomic transitions and formation temperatures are also given. The identified lines arise from temperatures that cover the range log T greater than or equal to 4.7 and less than or equal to 6.8, providing information about the Sun's corona and upper transition region. Upper limits to the intensity of any emission line not included here can be estimated from the measured instrumental sensitivity. This averaged EUV spectrum should prove useful as a source of accurate wavelengths and intensities for emission characteristic of the high-temperature plasma associated with a solar active region and small subflare.
