Are the EGR & ICP easy repairs?

It seems I have seen a lot of the early 6.0's with issues with the ICP and the EGR. Is the ICP like the CPs on a 7.3 and what is the EGR? And if these things crap out, can they be replaced at the house and are they costly?
Thanks

EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation and it is a valve that sits on top of the engine just in front of the fuel filter that allows exhaust to recirculate back into the intake of the engine. It is not a real cheap item from ford if you have to buy one. The ICP is a pain to get to and it is located at the back of the engine behind the turbo between the Y pipe that is for early build only.
