Do you have more information on this? Not aware of any such official listing for USA flights?
UA does report to the FAA such statistics but not on a realtime basis.
Some information can be sites like ExpertFlyer, FlightStats, ... but they are no "official" and may only show some reasons. This may be what you read about
Such as from EF
0590/01FEB
N BWI/LX
SKED BWI ORIG 544P GTD D13 SHIP 4249
ORD 655P TERM GTA B8
from flightstats
This shows the flight was cancelled about 4 hours prior to departure
Also so the number changes may on flight day
