For a regular USCF rating what is the shortest time control.  I see 30 minutes, but is that G30 with no delay or G30 with some delay?

Take the time control plus its increment and delay/add them. If that is greater than 29, then the game will impact your regular rating.

The following are all dual-rated and will impact your regular and quick rating.

G/30, d0 --- 30 + 0  = 30
G/25, d5 --- 25 + 5 = 30
G/30, d5 --- 30 + 5 = 35

The slowest time control that will not is G/29, d0 or anything with main time + increment/dealy less than 30.
