It's been said there has been no announcement other than what you see there. It's been noted that it would be tricky to run standard time contols not because of cheating but the chance of a disconnect 5 hours into a tournament.
It's a separate rating that is only effected when you play in USCF online events (On their Chess.com and ICC clubs) that are in the Regular/Dual time control.
Here is the FAQ: https://new.uschess.org/news/online-rated-us-chess-events/

There are already 29 0 tournaments on here, so all they would have to do is add 1 minute to that to make them 30 0.

There has been no official announcement of the regular rated online pools. The assumption is things will work just like they do for OTB from a time control standpoint.
At this point there is no plan on taking advantage of longer times, though I guess that could change once we know more.

If there is no plan then why would they create online slow on the website in everyone’s rating.

slow does not necessarily mean 3 hours, we could do 30+5 dual rated
Why not 45;0

Also 90:0. 120:0 is the max time control possible in Live Chess

This is just conjecture, but it's probably a case of being proactive. It would be challenging to anounce classical online is now a thing, but not have a system to support it.
I also feel that the USCF does not take these decisions lightly. If you don't progress carefully you risk unbalancing the state of chess. You could argue that having online tournaments could expand players base but could also dilute OTB chess. Classical OTB chess is sacred to a lot of people.

It is a mystery right now but uschess will eventually show us what they are planning.
