Abstract: In this work, we pursue further consequences of a general formalism for non-covariant gauges developed in an earlier work (hep-th/0205042). We carry out further analysis of the additional restrictions on renormalizations noted in that work. We use the example of the axial gauge A_3=0. We find that if multiplicative renormalization together with ghost-decoupling is to hold, the ``prescription-term (that defines a prescription) cannot be chosen arbitrarily but has to satisfy certain non-trivial conditions (over and above those implied by the validity of power counting) arising from the WT identities associated with the residual gauge invariance. We also give a restricted class of solutions to these conditions.
