I just spoke with an ACT worker on the phone and she said that for talent search the explore will still be given through 2014 as an extension.
She is not sure what is going to happen after 2014...they may continue to use the explore or they may transition over to aspire. It hasn't been worked out.
She also mentioned that some states have extended using explore for another year. Some areas will make the transition and some will be extended.
I am on this lady's email list now and she will send me updates.
