Using six months of survey data, the first Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) catalog of gamma-ray pulsars detailed the spectral and light curve characteristics of forty-six rotation-powered pulsars observed to pulse above 100 MeV. With three years of survey data and enhanced analysis techniques, the second LAT catalog of gamma-ray pulsars promises to shed more light on the pulsing gamma-ray sky. The number of known gamma-ray pulsars has more than doubled and separated into three, equally numerous classes: young radio-selected, young gamma-ray selected, and millisecond pulsars. We will outline the methods used to search for pulsed signals in the LAT data, the criteria by which pulsed signals were considered significant, and the basic content of the catalog. Part of this work is performed at NRL, sponsored by NASA DPR S-15633-Y.
