Yes it is. The rectangular metal box next to it is the
DFPE sensor.

The EGR valve is bolted to the engine with a pair of 8 or 10mm
metric bolts, and there's a gasket what you should replace
if you remove it (get it from autozone/pepboys).
The EGR tube underneath it should be unscrewed using a
suitable wrench (22mm or 3/4" IIRC).
Use some rust eater/liquid wrench on the large bolt.
Soak the valve well in intake cleaner, you've got nothing to
loose

If the rubber hoses are hand to pull off, use some silicone
spray and rub it into them, that'll make the rubber
flexible again.


Good luck,
