If you check Cisco's website, you'll see that the old Foundation exam and both the CCNP recert and the CCDP recert all go offline on September 7th. The new test (642-891) will replace them and comes online on August 7th.
The current CCNP and CCDP recerts will no longer be offered after September 7th. Just the Composite.
