It normally take a few hours before it is updated from OIG.

Or see

for some of the resources that use the tle data from OIG
I'm not aware of the publishing of predicted elements for STS-91's
separation burn. General rule-of-thumb is Discovery will go to a lower
orbit, thus it will move ahead of Mir in the same orbital plane. By the
time there is more than several minutes of separation there should be new
elements issued.
