Does AMC No 2 to 21.A.129(c) state that unintentional manufacturing divergences are always approved by the type-certificate holder alone?

No. The AMC states that all changes (including unintentional divergences) are required to have been approved by the design approval applicant/holder, or when necessary by the Agency.

In the context of AMC No 2 to 21.A.129(c), what role does the Agency play in approving changes to individual configurations?

The Agency approves changes when necessary, in addition to the design approval applicant/holder who also approves changes.

AMC No 2 to 21.A.129(c) Obligations of the manufacturer – Conformity with Applicable Design Data

ED Decision 2012/020/R

Individual configurations are often based on the needs of the customer and improvements or changes which may be introduced by the type-certificate holder. There are also likely to be unintentional divergences (concessions or non-conformances) during the manufacturing process. All these changes are required to have been approved by the design approval applicant/holder, or when necessary by the Agency.
