The bill now goes to the Senate, which is not expected to vote on it for a few weeks.

The House version includes $130 million for ACE, an additional $123 million to prop up the aging Automated Commercial System which ACE replaces and $5 million for the International Trade Data System.

ITS is the umbrella system under which ACE will operate.
